Pink Cottage School Cross Stitch Pattern - Hello - Liz Mathews

Step back in time with the breathtaking Pink Cottage School Cross Stitch Pattern by Hello from Liz Mathews! This exquisite antique sampler reproduction is inspired by a real schoolgirl sampler stitched by Martha Padfield, aged 12 years, at the Pink Cottage School in Coleford on March 17, 1862. Featuring a stunning border of oak leaves and acorns, a flower basket, magnificent butterflies, charming flower urns, a sweet pink cottage, and the original inscription — this is a true heirloom piece that will be treasured for generations.

A bonus small floral pincushion pattern is also included!
