Welcome to Penelope Textiles. A boxed Sajou Heritage and Museum kit for a large embroidery all about Marie Antoinette, the last Queen to live in the Palace of Versailles before her unfortunate demise. The embroidery includes the iconic portrait of Queen Marie-Antoinette by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, the French Queens official portraitist, along with designs taken from embroideries associated with (and some some worked by) Marie Antoinette. Her love of lace and fashions is noted and there are designs that are based on fabric samples used by Rose Bertin, the Queens dressmaker, along with the Queens silhouette and monogram. Despite her tragic destiny and the many grievances held against her, she remains an intriguing and iconic part of French history. Having been vilified by history, little by little, her ordeal was recognised and she became an expiatory symbol of the Revolution. In 1816 Louis XVIII gave her the funeral she never had in 1816. This role was taken over by the 19th century writers, Dumas and the Goncourt brothers. Today, Marie-Antoinette is a world-renowned myth. This embroidery represents around 310 hours of stitching. The kit contains: A large 68 x 80 cm poster printed on matt paper A large 70 cm square of pink linen fabric Four 14 cm squares in off-white, one Sajou blue, one cyclamen, one mole and two lime tree 35 Cards of Retors du Nord embroidery floss: 2001, 2004 , 2005, 2018, 2022 x 3, 2023 x 2, 2024, 2025 x 2, 2032, 2034, 2036, 2037, 2041, 2042, 2180, 2190, 2227, 2317, 2340, 2350, 2409 x 2, 2443, 2445 x 2, 2469, 2535, 2536, 2615, 2818, 2876; Two 28 mm buttons to cover; Roughly 20 cm of two satin ribbons in pink and pale blue, as well as nine pieces of organza ribbons in pastel tones.
