Susan Johnson of SJ Designs has a new booklet out. It's called The Mistress of Embroidery: Patterns for Embroidery, Counted Cross Stitch and Needlepoint. It reproduces charts and outlines first printed in 1819 by Augustin Legrand which can be done in needlepoint, cross stitch or embroidery. If you are interested in patterns available just after Jane Austin's death in the first year of Queen Victoria's reign, this is right up your alley.

This is one of a series of historical embroidery books by Susan. Most are 19th Century Berlin woolwork type charts but not all. Have fun browsing and learning more needlework history.
