Morning Modelbuch (6/3/2019)

Every band of this sampler is gorgeous, but I was most charmed by the figural section at the bottom. Probably because, while there are quite a few patterns for these, you don’t see them worked up much. Mid-seventeenth century, accession #46.369 https://www.mfa.org/collections/object/whitework-sampler-48888

Pattern from Matthias Mignerak _La Pratique de l’Aiguille_ dated 1605 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/354009
