Morning Modelbuch (6/20/2018)

While earlier embroidery is almost entirely ecclesiastical, secular embroidery becomes a thing at the same time as the modelbuchlein. These religious patterns are therefore unusual. Vinciolo’s second book is one of the few places you find them. The suns, faces, and skull and bones in the needle lace pattern are especially interesting. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10548003c.r=Vinciolo?rk=236052;4
