When I design I do so sat in the living room of my small, Victorian farmhouse and I often find myself watching the flames in my black, marble fireplace. It is a highly grand affair and that, along with my childhood growing up in a large, domineering, Victorian town house in Cheetham Hill, in the UK has inspired my passion for all things Victorian.
A Victorian Christmas was designed so individual areas could be stitched as ornaments or you could stitch the whole as one piece. Everything people would come to expect from Christmas in the Victorian ere is represented, even candles on the Christmas trees. Yes, real candles. The health and safety aspect alone makes you cringe! The rich however could afford crackers and toys to adorn their trees.
Geese were eaten by the poor who would join in 'goose clubs', putting a little aside each week for their Christmas poultry. The rich however were beginning to develop a taste for Turkey. Ironically the situation of the birds has altered in modern society with goose now being seen as a luxury bird. Crackers were developed in the Victorian times along with the first Christmas cards.
