Patterns to embroider in cross stitch or petit point. These floral motifs were inspired by gouache-painted models from the 19th century.

Printed on large format paper, they are easy to follow. The patterns are given in two directions—perfect, for example, for sewing decorative borders on curtains. Presented in a blue envelope with colored label. Thread and fabric not supplied. Retail $7.00 per pattern. Distributed wholesale in North America by BagSmith.
