Arachova Antique cross stitch folk embroidery PDF pattern","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Arachova Antique folk embroidery PDF pattern is inspired by the weaving and embroidery traditions of Arachova, Greece, a mountain village known for its hand-woven wool rugs, distinctive folk costumes, and a deep commitment to the textile arts. The central medallion comes from a vintage embroidery pattern fragment I saw on one of my trips there, and the small outer border is a popular folk costume hem border. Stitched in a classic Mediterranean palette of terra cotta, black, soft olive, gold, and blue, it can be finished as either a table runner, bolster cushion, or wall hanging. I originally designed this as the exclusive for the Pacific NW Stitch Summit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you'll make:\u003c\/strong\u003e an 11 x 22-1\/2 table runner, bolster cushion, or wall hanging\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitches used:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cross stitch, backstitch \u003cstrong\u003eSkill level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate \u003cstrong\u003eStitch count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16,332 cross stitches, 7176 backstitches (119 x 269 stitch area)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"intermediate\" mean for this pattern?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt means you're ready to settle into a project that will give you many enjoyable stitching sessions.
