One of the great things about the internet is the wonder resources you can find there, especially for those of us who live in remote areas.
I recently came across the Antique Pattern Library, a treasure trove of older publications that are no longer under copy right protection. Because I also make lace, this site was especially valuable, however it has patterns for all types of hand work, including bead work.
There are many patterns from DMC and Pricilla (as well as others) for embroidery, as well tatting, knitting, crochet, cluny crochet, and battenburg, just to name a few.
Hi Ginger,

There's also a yahoo group related to the library

Lots of good discussion there about techniques and what the older patterns mean when they say something. The terminology has changed over the years
