We recently put some embroidery charts online for some unusual and intriguing needlework patterns from the eastern and northern parts of Europe. In the next few months, we hope to publish more, also from the rest of Europe, America, the Middle East and Asia. Please click here for an Hungarian cushion cover; two cross-stitch patterns for ecclesiastical garments; an Hungarian/Romanian geometric design, a deer design from Eastern Europe, a simple blouse design from Romania, and a rabbits and birds design originally for a beadwork panel, also from Hungary. The first of the 'new' charts is an example from America, namely a design for a quilt (1950's). And we just published a large number of Palestinian embroidery charts, a number of patterns from Berlin wool work style school samplers of the late 19th century, and a series of Norwegian patterns. Later additions are three charts of designs found on early twentieth century Icelandic gloves, a number of 17th century Portguese cross-stitch patterns, two 18th century German charts for cross stitch embroideries, and a selection of early 16th century German cross-stitch patterns. We also added charts of embroidery used for 1930s men's caps from Senegal in western Africa. On 8 May 2021 we presented two counted thread patterns from eighteenth century Iceland. More than a year later, the TRC published a number of charts taken from a medieval bag in the Sens Museum, France.

All of the charts can be freely used. Enjoy!
