Ukrainian Folk Ornament is her fundamental work, which contains 298 examples of embroidery, 31 tables of patterns, and 23 patterns for pysanky.

At a time when the policy of the Russian imperial government was aimed at the complete denationalisation of an entire people, Olga Petrivna, inspired by the ideas and advice of her brother Mykhailo Dragomanov, and with the reliable support of her husband Petro Kosach, worked tirelessly to ensure the survival of authentic Ukrainian culture. Even in the tragic year of 1876, after the proclamation of the Ems Decree, she presented to the public the first comprehensive publication on the systematic study of traditional Ukrainian embroidery art: Ukrainian Folk Ornament. Embroidery, Fabrics, Easter Eggs," which she presented at the 1878 Paris World's Fair.
