All of the cross stitch kits contain DMC aida and DMC stranded cottons which are pre-sorted on a card sorter (the threads in the smallest greetings card kits are not pre-sorted). All kits are made to order so you don't need to worry about us being out of stock when you place your order.
CATEGORIES KINGS and QUEENS Catherine Howard Mini Cushion Cross Stitch Kit
Stitch a slice of Tudor history with this mini cushion design of Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife. A young, joyous Catherine Howard became Queen of England in 1540 aged only 16 or 17 but only lived for another 2 years, when she was beheaded on the grounds of treason by committing adultery whilst still married to King Henry, sharing a similar fate to that of Henry's second wife, Anne Boleyn. A tragic tale.
This triptych design features a portrait of Catherine, set against a tapestry-style background, with a second panel of Catherine's badge (showing a crowned red and white rose without a thorn, representing grace, beauty, love and faith) plus a third panel with her name and a mini Tudor Rose border.
This mini cushion cross stitch kit includes: 14HPI white aida fabric, ready-sorted DMC Stranded Cotton Threads on a numbered card sorter, needle, backing fabric, b&w symbol chart and instructions (cushion filler not included).
Design size: 6" x 7" (15.2cm x 17.8cm).
Only whole cross stitch is required with some backstitching needed for the finer details.
