Twelve original cross stitch patterns of Victorian cameo brooches: Victorian Lady, Rose, Swallow, Luna Moth, Cat, Horse, Swan, Lily of the Valley, Owl, Crescent Moon, Butterfly and Fox. Each cameo is a carved ivory relief on a colored oval (shell pink, jasper blue, black, sage, lavender or terracotta) set in an ornate gold frame.
Stitch one cameo as an ornament, a framed miniature or a pincushion, or stitch all twelve together as a jewelry-box collection. Tip: the gold frames show best on dark fabric such as black, navy or burgundy Aida, or on ivory linen. An original House of Needelier design, ready to download and start stitching today.
