Hampton Court Palace Counted Cross Stitch Mini Cushion Kit, Sheena Rogers Designs

This is for a counted cross stitch kit, not a completed mini cushion.

This counted cross stitch kit includes: 14ct white aida fabric, ready-sorted DMC Stranded Cotton Threads on a numbered and symboled card sorter, needle, backing fabric, b&w symbol chart and full instructions (filler not included).

Design size approx: 6" x 8" (15.2cm x 20.3cm).

Only whole cross stitch is required (so no fractionals!), with some backstitch needed for the finer details.

Every King or Queen needs a Palace, and Hampton Court Palace, south west of London, was the home to King Henry VIII. Building of the Palace began in 1515 for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, a favourite of King Henry VIII. But when Wolsey fell from favour in 1529 (for failing to obtain an annulment for Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon), the Palace became Henry's. Along with St James's Palace, it is one of only two surviving Palaces out of the many owned by King Henry VIII.

Now you can cross stitch a mini cushion of this lavish Palace, framed with a border of Tudor Roses.
