  • George Iii - George III (1738 - 1820) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820.
  • Cross Stitch - Cross stitch is a form of embroidery that involves creating a pattern or design by sewing X-shaped stitches onto fabric. The stitches are typically made using a needle and thread, and are made in a grid pattern, with each X-shaped stitch crossing over one or more fabric threads. The stitches are usually made with a single thread of embroidery floss, and the thread is passed over one fabric thread and under the next, creating the X-shape.

    Cross stitch is one of the oldest forms of embroidery and has been used for centuries to create decorative patterns and designs on clothing, linens, and other fabrics. The technique is simple and easy to learn, making it a popular hobby for people of all ages and skill levels. Cross stitch patterns can range from simple geometric designs to more complex, detailed images such as landscapes, portraits, and characters.

    Cross stitch is also used in the production of samplers, a traditional form of embroidery that features a variety of different stitches and patterns produced as a way to practice and demonstrate needlework skills.
