Continuing with Lilly’s Legacy, here’s another Hungarian hand embroidery pattern – this time, a little different, as you will notice that it is not colored. The black silhouette design may bring to mind visions of paper cutting rather than hand embroidery, but in fact, Lilly designed several pieces that look like this, that were meant for whitework embroidery.

If you’re just joining in on this series of Hungarian embroidery patterns, you can read the original story of Lilly Baróthi Zathureczky here on Needle ‘n Thread. It’s an interesting story of a Hungarian designer whose previously unpublished embroidery patterns have been brought to light and will be published now for all to enjoy! As many readers have already commented, the designs are suitable for much more than just hand embroidery. They’re adaptable to all kinds of arts and crafts, from painting, to paper crafts, to quilt appliqué.
