Belles and Beaus patterns were first designed and marketed by Betty Rast of Alabama.  They were a staple of most heirloom stitchers’ pattern collections. Years later the business was sold to Judith Dobson who added more designs to the collection.  The patterns for sale below are all unused, though a little shelf worn from waiting to be made up.    Intended for hand embroidery, their unique style and techniques can often be reproduced or tweaked with machine embroidery.

The price for each is $8, less than their original price years ago and far less than their value.
