I'm obsessed with the designs of world famous Mrs Delany who was a designer/paper artist/embroidery designer in Edwardian or Victorian times.(mainly botanicals). How do I search for her work and get it in a cross stitch kit/chart? Or any other 'obscure' design. Any advice please? Hi from Australia. Literally how do I put the words in the correct phrasing?
I went to GOOGLE. Typed in Delany Cross Stitch pattern and was connected with the above link.
Mrs. Delany's first name was Mary. Just try using a couple variations of the words Delany, Mary Delany, cross stitch, you will find more.
