Vankóné Dudás Juli: Falum, Galgamácsa (Studia Comitatensia 4. Szentendre, 1976)

Weaving patterns Home-spun textiles (hemp linen) were ornamented with particular patterns. Mostly of red colour, these patterns were interwoven with the material. The same patterns were used in other textiles, mainly factory-made ones with cross-stiches orna­ment; they even occur in crochet-work. The names of these patterns are given only in the Hungarian version of the List of Illustrations (under nos. 1—47), since they elude translation because of the popular expressions — generally names of flowers, stars and animals — used in their definitions. Embroidery patterns > For the same reason as above, the names of these patterns are equally untrans­latable. The sphere the names were taken from is identical with that of the weaving patterns. Each pattern has been designed by „drawing women". Both the weaving and embroidery patterns have been collected and applied by the author, who herself has been a designer. 1.
