Geometric hand embroidery patterns

Drawings built from lines and shapes that repeat: mostly mandalas, rosettes, medallions, tiles and stars.

Among the rest are two Greek key frames, one four-sided and one round, trellis, diamonds, three woven rings, six linked rings, a honeycomb, a fan of rays, a starburst, two quilt blocks and a cut gem. Eight patterns are blackwork, shapes filled with a small repeat of straight back stitches in one navy thread.
