Medieval Marginalia Cross Stitch Bundle, 6 PDF Patterns (Unicorn, Dragon, Knight, Snail, Dog, Cat)

Step into the wonderfully strange world of medieval manuscript art with this 6-pattern Medieval Marginalia Cross Stitch Bundle.

This digital collection brings together six medieval-inspired cross stitch designs, filled with fantastical creatures, heraldic colours, curling foliage, peculiar animals and the playful imagery found in the margins of illuminated manuscripts.

From a magnificent unicorn and dramatic dragon to a very determined knight taking on a giant snail, this collection celebrates the beautiful, bizarre and occasionally ridiculous side of medieval art.
