The History of the House with Roses Cross Stitch Sampler Kit by VDV M-0368

A romantic vintage sampler of treasured objects wreathed in pink roses: a typewriter, a birdcage, handwritten letters, a hatbox, a rose-covered cottage at the center, an antique telephone, a grand piano, a vintage car, and a garden fountain.

Why this kit: reads like a family album told through keepsakes rather than photographs; 44 DMC colors in a harmonious rose-and-sepia palette; everything needed to finish is in the box, from pre-selected DMC floss to a digital copy of the chart.

Kit includes: 100% cotton 16 count Aida in white, 100% cotton DMC floss in 44 colors, a Pony needle, a black-and-white printed chart with the backstitch shown in color, and a digital copy of the pattern. Finished size: 38x38 cm (14.96x14.96 in). Made in Ukraine.

The design is stitched by counting from the chart: each symbol marks one cross stitch in a specific floss color, worked square by square across the Aida, with the backstitch details added last to sharpen the picture.

A long-term project for experienced stitchers and a romantic heirloom piece.
