Lots of updates on "antiquelibrary.org"

Some of you are also members of the Yahoo Group (antiquepatternlibrary) dedicated to scanning and preserving old, out of copyrighted needlework books. The Group leader for this seems to be a Judith Combs. She just made many updates to the library:

Thanx so much for the update!!! I'm guessing the new books are in red?

 

For those of you that don't go to that site because Adobe is such a pain in the butt - try out Foxit Reader. It's AWESOME!

Thanks so much for the update. I stumbled across this site a while back and didn't really look at it.

 

I looked more closely this time and figured out how to navigate around it.

 

There are some really really cool patterns there. It takes some time to find them, but I love the really old patterns and there are certainly a bunch of them there.

 

Oh Boy, More things on my to do list:eek! I told my MIL last night that if I crocheted all day every day I would never get through my list of things I want to do.

 

Thanks again,

Toni
