This vintage pattern set is lovely to embellish assorted linens (tablecloths, napkins, runners, etc.) and offers pansy motifs in three different sizes (a larger corner design, miniatures to embellish smaller items and a strand of 4 to run along the sides. Here are the details from the original pattern, you’ll find the free downloads at the bottom of the page.

| The corner motif is the largest design in the set, the smaller mini-pansies are also on this page (there are 4 but they’re the same motif). | |
| This was a little tricky to scan since it’s a strand of 4 pansies which is too long for the scanner (and to print on 8 1/2 x 11″ paper). I split it in two and numbered each side 1-2-3-4 so you will know how to place them together after they are cut. Side #2 and Side #3 are the middle of the 4-strand and should be placed together (the thick black lines show you how). I hope it’s clear enough! | |
