I apologize for the missed posts this week. I am behind on Christmas projects so am not getting research time in. Posts may or may not happen until after the holiday.

In the meantime, if you happen to need a quick stitch with modelbuch patterns, I wanted to remind everybody of Helen Hough and Franciska Ruessink’s _Design Elements of Renaissance Embroidery_. The books have charts for the counted motifs in the modelbucher and are available for free on Archive along with all the other amazing stuff Helen has assembled.

I did a fast gryphon with a pattern from plate 26 in book two that, once I finish it, is going to turn into a wine bag to gift a bottle of mead to a friend. https://archive.org/details/CEPRDesignElements2016
