Most of these scans have been graphically edited to make the images easier for craft workers to see, and to reduce file sizes. They are available, for free, to anyone who wants them, for educational, personal, artistic and other creative uses.</blockquote> ➤ types of crafts include lace-making, beading, bookbinding, calligraphy, crochet, cross-stitch, drawing, embroidery, knitting, knotting, quilting, sewing, woodworking, etc

Summary: <blockquote>In which Lan Zhan makes a friend at a quilt show.</blockquote> ➤ a super cute modern au where wangxian are quilters! I love how much the author is clearly familiar with quilting and is able to imbue the fic with insider perspectives on the art/hobby ➤ I love when writers port "these characters are super skilled at The Thing The Show Is About" into a completely different domain like this, especially when it's a domain that doesn't get much attention from fandom usually! ➤ the dynamics between wwx and lwj are also so fun, the way they click so easily, and push each other, and inspire each other, and love each other ➤ also I dearly want to see all the quilts that are described in the fic lol ➤ 5k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>here were two out-of-towners gawking at Adalène’s window when she sat down alone at the table in her shop. She’d had a pair of seamstresses to work for her, once upon a time, to do all the fussier piecing and hand-sewing. Sacred seas, she’d had customers once, too. A hundred years’ sleep had changed those things and so many more besides. She frowned down at the piecework for the simple gown she’d laid out and fitted pale-pink thread to a needle. It felt silly, some days, to set to sewing. But her feet always carried her here, to the work table.</blockquote> ➤ about one of the common people also put to sleep in the sleeping beauty tale having to make her way in a changed world after they're all awakened

<blockquote>Trying to settle on Yuletide requests (!!!) AND convince other people to sign up, and somehow that led to me squinting at the jpeg of Elizabeth Parker's Sampler at the V&A Museum and transcribing the whole thing because it's so difficult to read and the only text version I could find online had a ton of mistakes. (It's probably somewhere really obvious but NEVER MIND it's done now!) Probably don't read this unless you're in the mood to be horribly depressed (also: gigantic wall of unpunctuated text).
