Collingbourne Mills Books/ Virginia Snow Studio

Vintage 1920 Patterns Collingbournes Yokes Filet Cluny Tatting Book 9 By Virginia Snow StudioThe Front Cover of Collingbourne's Elgin Maid Book, which is a crochet pattern book from 1920.The Front Cover of Collingbourne's Virginia Snow's Authority on Bead Bags, Necklaces Etc, a vintage pattern book from the 1920s. Collingbourne Mills manufactured cotton thread to be used in a variety of needlework projects. It was only natural that Collingbourne's would offer pattern books in order to drive more thread sales; Collingbourne's pattern books provided their customers with lovely and useful projects that utilized their threads. The pattern books doubled as advertising for their threads. These books are particularly collectible, both for their patterns and also for their unique cover art illustrations. I am not certain who designed the patterns in these books; I think that "Virginia Snow" might have been a pseudonym or a "pen name", but I am not really sure about that. If you have any further information about the books or their author(s), please do comment! I've owned quite a few of the books, and I've shared photos and project descriptions for many of them. I hope you'll enjoy taking a look. Ebay: If copies of Collingbourne books are available for sale on the ebay auction site, they will appear in a list below.
