G EDWARD MULLER #11 - $12 USD

 
 
This is a very early pattern by a totally unknown pattern maker, not to be confused with H. F. Muller.  Created in the early 1830s, it predates the Victorian age by at least 5 years.  Simplistic, it is 153 stitches wide by 139 stitches tall and uses just 21 DMC colors

M LEVI 335 - $8 USD

 
Mr. Levi had a very short run as a pattern maker and I am very lucky to have many of his patterns in my possession.  This pattern from the early 1840s is comprised of Calla Lillies in a circle which is perfect for a cushion or chair seat as there is no wrong view of this pattern.  The design is 97 stitches wide by 99 stitches tall and is made up of 22 DMC colors.  The pattern was graphed against a purple background so I left the design as such.
