Vintage Graphic: Stained Glass Design #2

Here is another lovely stained glass design that is a companion to the one I posted earlier today. I just love how the black outliine makes the colors pop. These are a crafter's delight. Enjoy! - Judy

Vintage Graphic: Stained Glass Design

Today I am sharing this gorgeous old stained Glass design. I've included the original b/w image, plus two colored versions: one with solid colors and one with shaded colors. I've always been fascinated by stained glass, from the time when, as a little girl, I would sit in the church pew, awestruck by the intense colors with the sunlight bringing them to life. I hope you will enjoy this one - Judy

 

Free eBook: Illustrated Embroidery Handbook

Here is a link to a book I just discovered on Gutenberg. It is titled: "Handbook of Embroidery" by L. Higgin. Published in 1880, it has many illustrations, and instructions for embroidery stitches. I've included a sample graphic, and an embroidery design from the book, below the download link. Enjoy! - Judy

Free Retro Embroidery Design

Sweet, Simple & Beautiful: this embroidery design could easily double as a graphic.

I can picture it as a tinted image on a notecard or invitation. Have fun with it - Judy
