Wow -- the Frankie Files are amazing (as is this blog -- just discovered you through Angry Chicken. Where do expired patent drawings come from? I've never seen or heard of such things. Really interesting -- thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteAlicia,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like the Frankie Files. It really is my favorite project though I don't get enough time to fool around browsing the US Patent office website.

Hi Meggiecat,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting the link to these files. I just love to browse through old needlework books. I even sent a message to Sharon Boggon to let her know about the needlework books and mentioned it actually came from you. I'm sorry I didn't thank you before but the weekend caught me in the swirl!
