Mary - Sepia Lacemaker

Mary the Lacemaker 1885 - An Heirloom Cross Stitch Journey

Product Description:

Have you ever read a short story and wished it wouldn't end so soon? Or perhaps you prefer to lose yourself in a novel, unable to put it down as the characters slowly reveal themselves over time?

Stitching a large cross stitch piece like this is a similar journey. More than a simple project, it's an immersive experience. Like fitting together a grand jigsaw puzzle, areas of the picture will suddenly jump into focus. But instead of putting the pieces back in the box, you are creating a lasting piece of art with a real link to our past.

As your stitched section grows, you will see the picture become a familiar friend. By the time you finish this project, you will have spent many productive hours immersed in the world of Mary, our lacemaker, back in 1885. This isn't just a pattern; it's a story you bring to life with your own hands.
