For the first time, traditional folk patterns are published with commentary explaining the symbolism of the embroidery. You will not only be able to embroider authentic motifs but also understand why they were used by Russian embroiderers and craftswomen of the peoples of northern Russia (Karelians, Vepsians). Over the centuries, embroidery has undergone fascinating metamorphoses, according to which we have compiled the patterns. Each pattern presented in the book was once embroidered by a true craftswoman, or perhaps her grandmother or great-grandmother, carefully preserved and collected by researchers on expeditions. For the convenience of modern needlewomen, we have drawn these patterns and placed them on a counting grid, so that every interested embroiderer can consciously connect with her own heritage.
