Cross-Stitch Sampler Pattern LAVENDER COTTAGE SAMPLER by Karen Kluba from Rosewood Manor, S-1275

This is a 10 page paper booklet from Rosewood Manor, designed by Karen Kluba, featuring the sampler on the cover, Lavender Cottage Sampler. The scheme is split and enlarged, so that each segment is easy on the eyes. 

Karen's style is refined, which you can witness in fine flowers and filigree trellis of leaves spilling from the vase. It creates gentle, lacey effect and elevates the whole piece to a higher level of needlework. A perfectly vintage look is achieved by hand-dyed linen and threads
