This collection of woodcuts are by Venetian publisher Matteo Pagano (1515-1588) as presented in his 1563 book. These 20 plates of charted patterns are reproduced from an 1880 reprint of the 16th century original in my private collection, and have been slightly enlarged for ease of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe classic borders and marvelously entwined repeating patterns from this early \"modelbuch\" can be easily adapted by modern needleworkers, and are a source of endless inspiration for creative embroiderers. Designs charted on graph paper are a universal language which can be translated into needlepoint, counted cross stitch, filet crochet and beadwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with most antique needlework books, these charts do not include specific projects, color or stitching suggestions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8685279208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798685279200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.07d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Susan Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127195529471,"sku":"9798685279200","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8c8b61d-ffc6-40a9-a546-90db2b5dd2e6.jpg?v=1687452355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/matteo-paganos-fior-di-virtu-susan-johnson-9798685279200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
