I'm trying to keep track of different types of embroidery motifs for easy reference. Here are some strawberry designs; I plan to keep updating them when I have time.
From 'A Scholehouse for the Needle' (1624):

From 'The Trevellyon Miscellany' (1608):

Lovely designs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy! Lots more to find and put in as well. As you would know, strawberries were a very popular Elizabethan motif and Queen Elizabeth I had lots of images painted with embroidered articles featuring them. I just need to find more hours in the day!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job. I love those strawberries and design as well.. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeletePleasure is all mine...! Your blog is great for embroidery digitizers.
