V&A Pattern
The V&A Pattern series books are short beautiful volumes with one textile design per page, drawn from an item in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. There's also a CD that has the design electronically, so you can cut and paste them for educational projects.
You can check these out of the library if you are in Ohio by changing the pick-up location on a book request through OhioLink.
The link above goes to the list; the link below is an example.
