Thanks for sharing!
I think I might use some of the embroidery patterns for future projects! I was looking for a pattern to embroider two pillows with :-)
Which patterns are you thinking about?
I was so happy to see the pictures of the Swiss 1320 purse! I've already got a picture of the front, and now I also know what the back looks like. I love those purses :-)
I was thinking of using some of the patterns on the late 14th century German altar frontal.
There are some very pretty patterns in it.

I especcially like this one, since it's a variation on the pattern seen on the 14th/15th century German purse in the V&A we've both did.
The patterns from the altar hanging would look pretty on purses too :-)
