This cross stitch kit has been developed in collaboration with the V&A, so you can recreate a section of J.H. Dearle’s Golden Lily pattern. This detailed design features green foliage with a variety of entwined plants and pink, yellow and blue flowers. It looks stunning when stitched using DMC Six-Strand Embroidery Floss in gentle muted tones.
