A small 1884 pattern book of embroidery stitch designs for decorating Oriental or "crazy" work (patchwork of silk and velvet pieces), designed and published by Mrs. M. Haehnlen of Chicago. After a short introduction on preparing the pieces, it presents twelve numbered basic stitches (straight, cat, buttonhole, feather, herringbone, coral, loops and knots). The remaining pages show white-on-black diagrams of decorative stitch borders, each with brief instructions on how to combine the basic stitches, loops and knots.
