Description and Details
A beautiful Sajou cross stitch chart for the Toile du Jouy Coquecigrues design.
The size of motif is 120 x 144 points, which when sewn on 12 count embroidery linen measures 35 x 24 cm.. It is a repeatable design, so you can make up the design on a larger scale of you wish.
The embroidery can be worked into 12 count off white Sajou embroidery linen.
The Coquecigrues design is one of several historical prints available for cross stitch that are taken from The Toile du Jouy Museum pattern archives.
This charts are also available in the following designs; Marley, Breteuil, Les Indiennes, Dampierre, Bonnes Herbes No.1 and Bonnes Herbes No.2
The charts in these designs can be found in my shop along with other embroidery charts and kits inspired by the designs and histories of Toile du Jouy and of the Bayueux Tapestry.
Some of you will already be collectors of Sajou and be more than aware of this extraordinary French brand. 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.
Materials: A3 Chart in a Decorative Sleeve.
