Description and Details
A beautiful Sajou Heritage cross stitch chart depicting various animal motifs set within a patterned border, inspired by the scenes and motifs found within the borders of the Bayeux Tapestry.
The scene shows William’s armies prepare a feast. Two servants have suspended a cauldron, and above, what appears to be skewers. Another servant is busy in front of an oven with flames billowing out. Two servants pass through a portal (probably a requisitioned manor). Four cavaliers use their shields as a table. Beside them, Bishop Odo gives grace to a table covered with dishes. In the centre, a servant brings a new dish with a small bow.

Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in today's mass produced haberdashery products.
Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.
