FUNDRAISING

OUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN HAS STARTED!  GOAL: 5000 USD / 6125 CAD AND CURRENTLY AT 69%

To keep our Library up and running, we hold a fundraising campaign from September to December.

This is the link to the donation button: Donate to keep the Antique Pattern Library running!  

If you can’t afford to donate, but would like to help the Antique Pattern Library, introducing the Library to people who don’t know of it yet, is very useful, since it broadens our user base and therefore also our future donor base. Blogs, Tiktok, Instagram, Pinterest, Ravelry, Facebook, other social media – show others your favorite publications and what you made using them. Our work is only useful when people actually use it!

If that is not possible either, just enjoy our new publications either for inspiration or for your own work! There’s always something new to try out and something well-known to sharpen our skills with. 

NEW PUBLICATION 

E-WM027 Heinrich Kuehn – Patterns in green, red, and blue
Eight patterns from an incomplete leporello. No cover, some pages detached. Paper brittle and darkened. The reverse side has blue alphabet patterns that are duplicates of other Heinrich Kuehn leporellos, and have been omitted. Although the patterns were printed in three colors, there’s four shades of red, two shades of green and three shades of blue, although not all shades are used in every pattern.
From the estate of Frans Wijnsma, scans donated by Seya Wijnsma-Spek, charted by Sytske Wijnsma.

In this case we don’t know for certain that these are actual Heinrich Kuehn patterns, but it’s likely in view of the alphabets on the reverse side that have been repeated and repeated ad nauseam on the reverse side of other Heinrich Kuehn patterns, to the point that we’re not spending duplicate effort on them.  There’s another publication in the catalog, C-FN002.htm, that has extremely similar patterns and that still has the Heinrich Kuehn cover.
