Antique Red Rooster Sampler by Happiness is Heart Made

From the designer —

The Antique Red Rooster pattern was adapted from a French 19th Century pillow cover that was stitched with red cotton thread on a cotton plain weave fabric. The original needlework has the French phrase, “QUAND CE COQ CHANTERA MON A MITIĒ FINIRA” on it. This pattern booklet contains two options for the stitcher; to complete a project with the original French phrase, or with an alternate design using an alphabet developed from the letters in the original work.
