Welcome!

This ongoing project is an effort to scan craft pattern publications that are in the public domain, to preserve them, so we can keep our craft heritages in our hands. Most of these scans have been graphically edited to make the images easier for craft workers to see, and to reduce file sizes. They are available, for free, to anyone who wants them, for educational, personal, artistic and other creative uses.

1888 36

F. Fischbach

Small cardboard card, part of an incomplete collection. On one side a pattern chart with an alphabet in dark red, a large floral motif in bright red and a small motif in dark blue. On the other side Wise Proverbs. The first says that if you walk barefeet, you won't feel bothered by lack of shoes when you see someone else lacking both feet. Second says that if you are happy with the entire world but most happy with yourself, that is the best fate that could befall you and I wish it for you and myself. The third says that for a possession to make you happy, you have to have won it yourself, and that for joy is to be felt fully, first your suffering has to be defeated.

Cataloguers needed!

We badly need trained librarians or scholars in humanities, to help make our catalog useful and conforming to standards, and teach other volunteers how to do this. If you have some training in cataloguing, we'd be very glad for your help. As many or as few hours you would be willing to spend on it, it all would help. Contact Judith or Sytske via the groups.io/g/antiquepatternlibrary group, or send a mail to the info address above. Thank you!
