The Byzantine Beasts folk embroidery kit is a charming menagerie of animals inspired by Byzantine and Greek folk art, and each animal sits atop a traditional folk embroidery border. Worked in cheery shades of turquoise, teal, green, terra cotta, and yellow, this design can be finished as a child’s quiet book or as a wall hanging. Each animal can also be worked independently for smaller projects such as pincushions, stuffed toys, or as mini framed art! Kit includes: 26ct 100% cotton Mikini in ivory, DMC 100% cotton embroidery floss, John James size 24 needle, full color charts and instructions (please note this kit does not come with the fabric for making the book's cover; you will need a small piece of cotton quilting-type fabric for the cover).
Finished size:
Quiet Book—4-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches
Wall Hanging 9 x 22-1/2 inches
Stitch count: varies for each motif
