Cross Stitch Kit - Welsh Alphabet Sampler - Cathrina 1884

Create your own traditional Welsh sampler with a fresh, contemporary twist.

Inspired by a traditional Welsh Sampler dated 1884 by Cathrina Rees. Antique Welsh samplers of this era did not normally include an alphabet, there was often a biblical quote instead - and those with an alphabet were worked in English as the Welsh language had declined in use in this period (but as we know it is on the rise again!)

• Features the Welsh alphabet and the year
• Kit contains 14 Count white Aida, 6-stranded Coats Anchor embroidery threads, needle, chart and instructions.
• Best quality materials for a beautiful finished product
• Size of finished embroidery approx 29cm (11 1/2 inches) square

You will spend hours of fun on this relaxing pastime and enjoy the result forever.

Would make a perfect gift as a kit or, for something truly special, why not present your friends or family with the finished piece?

A Little About the Maker...

Amanda began her cross stitch business, Riverdrift, in honour of her Welsh family. She has many fascinating stories and cherished memories. Her grandmother, affectionately known as Moony, was a midwife who delivered Shirley Bassey's daughter and her great uncle, who was a fruit importer at the Cardiff docks, brought the first Bananas into Britain after the end of WWII!
