Instead of Scandinavian Folk Designs , I would rather call this book THE BRIEF NATIONAL LOTTERY FOR SCANDINAVIAN DESIGNS  because some of the following pictures are the most extraordinary designs used in the olden times for Danish pulled work, hardanger embroidery and white work and each are sold individually by shops like the Nordic Needle Shop for prices starting at $7.00.

Here are my favourite pictures of the book followed by some of the hardanger and white embroidery patterns on sale by the Nordic Needle Shop. Leave a comment below , Ariane

If you are to buy any of these patterns individually you can expect the cheapest to be around $7 like this one from the Nordic Needle shop,
