Title: Stitching embroidery cards
Description: 1965? Set of 20 embroidery stitching cards plus four extras. Complete set. Fables de La Fontaine. Numbered 1-20. DMC.

Now here is something unusual, even unique. I did not know that there were embroidery stitching cards. DMC is apparently a thread manufacturer. These are advertisements for their thread, as the cards promise "solid colors, brilliant, durable." I wonder what one would then do with the 24 fable panels embroidered with the help of these cards? And would the sewing happen on the very card itself? I learned on the web that "DMC has been developing award-winning fine threads and specialist yarns for makers since 1746, when artist Jean-Henri Dollfus joined forces with a pair of equally visionary entrepreneurs. Today DMC produces their natural yarns in Italy and France, collaborating with some of Europe’s most prestigious fashion houses, venerable art galleries, up-and-coming designers and needlecraft bloggers."
