16th Century Brocade and Rosina Fuerst - Free Jigsaw Download

This precious 16th century floral brocade set on a silver background reminded me so much of sprigged floral designs set on a bias by Rosina Fuerst that I could hardly wait to get back home and check the pattern book again. Rosina's pattern books were published by Paul Fuerst in Nuremburg in the late 1600's, so perhaps she had taken her inspiration from earlier textiles such as this. It is easy to understand how women must have been very eager to simulate expensive fabrics more cheaply with simpler materials, using their own hands and expertise - and Rosina's helpful pattern sheets.
