Embroidery-pattern

Embroidery-pattern. Among young girls embroidery patterns became popular in the 18th century showcasing mostly letters, numbers, several figural ornaments. Similar patterns showed not only the girls’ professionality in embroidery, but also their educatedness: since to prepare the patterns, the knowledge of the alphabet was necessary. On the exhibited cross stich embroidery pattern beside the latin letters we can also see ghotic letters (used for German texts), and a Hebrew line as well. The creator is unknown, we only know the monogram (D.M.), and the date (1866). Thus the girl also created a monument with this embroidery for her taste, education and skilfulness.
