The Ionian Floral folk embroidery kit is inspired by a 17th-century embroidered cushion from the Ionian islands. Stylized flowers bloom from an intricate stem and leaf motif and are accented with tiny golden urns and a sprinkling of small florets. The design is stitched in alternating shades of blue and terra cotta to evoke the historical dyestuffs of madder red and indigo, and is finished with a delicate geometric border in graduated shades. Finished as either a table square or cushion cover, this striking design will add vibrance and beauty to any décor! Kit includes: 30ct 100% European linen in Vanilla, DMC 100% cotton embroidery floss, John James size 24 needle, full color charts and instructions (a PDF copy of the pattern will also be sent to you).
Finished size (exclusive of finishing): 15.5 x 15.5”/39x39cm
Stitch count: 231 x 231sts/12272 total sts/360 backstitches
