Fischbach’s Red Lion BoRDER PATTERN
FUNDRAISING
OUR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN HAS ENDED! GOAL: 5000 USD AND CURRENTLY AT 105%!
To keep our Library up and running, we hold a fundraising campaign from September to December and I’m happy to say that it reached its goal!
More donations are always welcome 🙂 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!
NEW PUBLICATION
C-YS631 Fischbach – Muster fĂĽr Stickerei, Muster fĂĽr Hakelei 15-16
Two-sided small cardboard advertising card, on the inside a cross-stitch pattern in three colors, a border design with a red lion between a black vase and a black flower, with blue curly flowers and leaves. Top and bottom are separate border designs. On the outside a crochet pattern, shown only as image, no instructions included.
Donated, edited and charted by Sytske Wijnsma.
One from the stack of advertising cards from the Zwirnerei & Nähfadenfabrik Göggingen, a factory twining and making sewing threads, later joined with Ackermann. They published advertising cards featuring embroidery pattern, crochet lessons and patterns, sewing lessons, and proverbs. Many of the embroidery patterns were from the hand for Friedrich Fischbach, who published lots and lots of patterns under his own name as well (and some for the Arbeitsstube, another German monthly publication). Most of these patterns have limited colors and can’t really qualify as Berlin woolwork, but the style is different from the other European embroideries.
On the reverse side a crochet pattern. This makes the card older than 1894, when the ZNG put images of the factory on the outside of their pattern cards. The most likely date is 1891.
