LK 1900 - Cross Stitch Pattern by Mojo Stitches

An antique reproduction pink house sampler
This lovely - quite late - antique English sampler is so pleasing with its symmetry and familiar motifs. I particularly loved recreating the look of pink bricks, making each look different through the use of softly variegated thread. The original stitcher's initials are the same as two of my beloved aunts, so I kept them - but it would be very simple to add your own initials and a significant date to yours.
