Essential Project

Krista's book, "Everyday Folk: over 175 folk embroidery designs for the home, inspired by traditional textiles" have a variety of Essential Projects which provide stitchers with an opportunity to experience traditional folk embroidery in an easy format with complete charts and finishing instructions. These supply kits feature the same fabrics and floss that Krista used for the book so you can create the same project.

Please note: due to copyright issues, supply kits do NOT come with a printed chart (you will need a copy of the book for the charts). Some kits are Limited Edition and will not be restocked once I sell out.

Free shipping

Please note: the Dodecanese Ornamental pattern specifies an 18x18" piece of linen, but the kit includes a 17x17" piece because I have a limited supply of this linen and this size will be plenty to make the wall hanging

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.

What if I'm new to cross stitch?

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.
