This week we'll take a quick look at "My Book No. G, The Antique Design or Spider. In many variations-Showing Yokes: Corners, Edges and Insertions". It's by Emma Farnes, published by E.C. Spuehler in 1910. This booklet is viewable on the Antique Pattern Library website. This is Book G in a series of 10 booklets. The Antique Pattern Library has several of the booklets available but not the entire series. This website links to a Catalog of Copywrite that says that Emma Farnes was a pseudonym for E.C. (Edwin Christopher) Spuehler. The booklet is formatted with a sample of the finished pattern shown and the instructions in text near the sample. These range from the simple versions above all the way to a few yoke patterns For next week, I'll try the one at the top called, "In it's simplest form".
