Iris Paintbox cross stitch folk embroidery PDF pattern

The Iris' Paintbox folk embroidery PDF pattern is inspired by an embroidered table scarf a friend purchased from a needleworker in the Agrinio area of mainland Greece in the 1970s which was in turn inspired by a Greek folk costume. Its vibrant color palette sets a lively rainbow of hues within a traditional terra cotta and black framework for a truly striking and unconventional design. Shown worked as a table runner, it would also make a gorgeous cushion cover by stitching less repeats of the design.  Finished size (exclusive of finishing): 14-1/2 x 26”      Stitch count: 190 x 341sts/18831 cross stitches/20886 backstitches Avlea Folk Embroidery brings ancient beauty to the modern world with gorgeous folk embroidery kits and patterns of the finest quality.
