Designer: Avlea Folk Embroidery
Item: AFE-060
Type: Cross Stitch Kits
The Celestial Grove cross stitch folk embroidery kit is one of my most significant designs. Inspired by historic textiles from the Epirus region of Greece, it features repeated "tiles" of eight-pointed stars set off with a grand cypress tree. Two of the most universal symbols in the history of decorative art that symbolize the heavenly and the afterworld, they appear throughout art history from Persia to the Middle East to the Mediterranean and even as north as the Baltic regions. While these motifs are frequently seen in folk embroidery, I was surprised to find three very similar versions with this unique and striking use of negative space in museum collections, which is an indication of how prized this style of design was historically. This was one of my all-time favorite designs to stitch--the tiled motif was easy to memorize but the final table runner is truly breath-taking.
What you'll make: An 18 x 29" table runner
Kit Includes: One 20 x 31" piece of 30ct European linen in Porcelain
DMC 6-strand embroidery floss
John James size 24 cross stitch needle
Full color chart and instructions
Stitch count: 26,692 cross stitches, 1,126 backstitches (249 x 405 stitch area)
