The Taline’s Tulips cross stitch folk embroidery kit is inspired by an heirloom folk embroidery shared with me by Taline Voskeritchian. It’s intricate central motif features crosses, tulips, and arrows and is found in both Armenian and Greek folk embroideries in several variations. This version uses a single central motif and is a wonderful example of how folk embroidery often combines bold geometric elements with intricate backstitch and a graceful use of negative space to create an embroidery that is truly a work of art. 

Finished size (exclusive of hemming): 13 x 16-5/8”/32.5 x 41.7cm

Stitch count: 194 x 254 stitch area/6992 cross stitches/11001 backstitches

Stitches used: cross stitch, backstitch

Krista's note: for Taline's Tulips Small, Maria used 1 strand of DMC for all backstitches, but I have included enough floss for you to use 2 strands for all backstitches and you can see that effect in the photos of Taline's Tulps Large.

Historically-inspired, modern-made!

Avlea Folk Embroidery brings ancient beauty to the modern world with beautiful folk embroidery kits of the finest quality. I design and make each kit by hand in my Central Oregon studio, to give you a wonderful stitching experience no matter your skill level.

Why is folk fabric so special?

Folk fabrics have been used for hundreds of years to make folk costumes and household embroideries. When you work a cross stitch design on them, they give your stitching a beautiful texture and are a delight to stitch on, plus they're made to stand up to daily use. I source mine from a 3rd-generation family mill in Athens, Greece so you can have an authentic stitching experience.

One of the wonderful things about cross stitch folk embroidery is that you can learn how to do it in a couple of hours and enjoy it for a lifetime! If you're new, watch my How To Cross Stitch video to get started on your folk embroidery journey.
