Fantastic Embroidery Reference Sites!

I am finding so many great embroidery blogs and reference pages from members of the SCA and other medieval living history groups from around the world, I decided to make a blog entry to keep track of them all!  While I will post blogs about specific crafts as I dabble in them, this list below should be useful for almost any medieval textile research and examples you might be interested in researching.  I will continually update this list as I go, so these will be easier to find.

Enjoy!

The Antique Pattern Library

What a fabulous resource for the fiber arts enthusiast!  Plenty of wonderful patterns and books, many from the Guttenburg Project.  These books were scanned in by volunteers, and some date back to the 1840s!  All these books are downloadable, so you can print them out to enjoy. 

Check it out:

Also, ther is another great resource for vintage textile crafts.  All these books and magazines can be downloaded for free!
