DMC Old cross stitch

French language collection of counted thread designs for traditional folk and historical embroidery, presented as engravings detailed enough to use as charts. Some have notes on multicolor execution. Includes all-over designs, strips for insertions and borders (some with corners), some incorporating straight stitches (double running or back stitch). Also sampler style alphabets, and a few stand-alone motifs. Instructions describe stitches including two-sided cross-stitch, but do not include source notes for the patterns.

Scans donated by Ivan Krašnjak, edited by Judith Adele. Not charted yet.
