Grimm's fairy tales in cross stitch

Grimm fairy tales, Perrault fairy tales, La Fontaine Fables were large sources of inspiration for motifs that were formerly embroidered in filet cross stitch. The vintage motifs were always in monochrome. We have reproduced them in colour and created other motifs, always in the same spirit and format.
