The les Bonnes Herbes No.1 design is one of several historical prints available for cross stitch that are taken from The Toile du Jouy Museum pattern archives.

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.
