Pattern chart in cross stitch - Diane de Poitiers bedroom in Chenonceau castle - Museum and Heritage Collection
As with all inhabited homes, Chenonceau Château has a welcoming smell of wax, lovely vases of flowers and is filled with furniture. And of course, there is an exceptional collection of works of art. This is an interpretation of the fabric decorating the four-poster bed in Diane de Poitiers’ bedroom, where, as the King’s mistress, she often welcomed King Henri II. This project is derived from the large Museums and Heritage pattern chart dedicated to the Chenonceau Château. This full-colour pattern chart is printed on a large A3 sheet with all necessary explanations and presented folded in a Sajou folder.
Size of motif: 185 stitches wide by 130 stitches high.
You can make a cushion measuring 30.8 x 21.7cm with this pattern chart, or use the repeat motif for a smaller or larger project. The repeat motif is 54 x 71 stitches which gives a size of 9 x 11.8cm when embroidered on 12 count (per cm) linen. To calculate how much fabric you will need, simply multiply the dimensions.
