Sjónabók / Ornaments and Patterns found in Iceland

We introduce to you a totally inspiring book, Íslensk Sjónabók, which contains a collection of traditional textile patterns from Icelandic manuscripts from as early as 1700.  About 700 pages of different patterns, all manually digitized.
This book is a goldmine of traditional needlework patterns.

The project was a collaboration between the Iceland Academy of the Arts, The National Museum and The Home Industry Association (Heimilisiðnaðafélagið).

Included with the book is a CD with all the patterns, printable.

Text is both in Icelandic and English. Published 2009.
