This treasure trove of user-friendly patterns enables contemporary stitchers to infuse their creations with authentic 1800s flair. Drawing upon her extensive research in vintage attics, archives, brocantes, and antique shops, embroidery expert Véronique Maillard presents the patterns employed by French women during the 1800s and early 1900s to prepare their dowry chests or personalize their household linens. These patterns, meticulously transcribed from vintage tablecloths, dowry chests, and bed linens, offer a wealth of possibilities for stitchers to enhance their projects with unique 1800s touches.

Véronique Maillard's collection encompasses hundreds of patterns, meticulously digitized to ensure clarity. All patterns are designed for cross-stitch embroidery, allowing stitchers to create intricate designs over one or two warp or weft threads. The patterns are accompanied by stunning photos of completed projects, providing inspiration for various applications. An index allows stitchers to select designs based on letter height, border size, or motifs, ranging from flower baskets to hens.

This treasure trove includes the most outstanding designs from 1800s and 1900s mark manuals by renowned cross-stitch design publishers, including M. Rouyer, Sajou, L.V., and Alexandre. Whether you're a seasoned stitcher or a beginner, this collection offers a delightful journey into the world of 1800s embroidery and provides a wealth of inspiration for your creative endeavors.
