01 / THE PROJECT
History is full of patterns.
Let’s make them findable.
Threadwork brings public-domain cross-stitch sources into one searchable catalogue. Explore by motif, follow a pattern to its original book, or let curiosity choose your next page.
We’re starting with 50 selected pages from 5 digitized books. Every record links to its source and reuse information. This is the beginning of the index; the full books contain more pages than we’ve tagged so far.
