  • 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.
  • Victorian Period - The Victorian period of furniture and decorative arts design covers the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. There was not one dominant style of furniture in the Victorian period. Designers used and modified many historical styles such as Gothic, Tudor, Elizabethan, English Rococo, Neoclassical and others, although use of some styles, such as English Rococo and Gothic tended to dominate the furniture manufacture of the period.

    The Victorian period was preceded by the Regency and William IV periods, and followed by the Edwardian period, named for Edward VII (1841 ? 1910) who was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Emperor of India for the brief period from 1901 until his death in 1910.
