The Byzantine Rose cross stitch folk embroidery kit is a stunning ode to the Byzantine artistic influence on Greek folk embroidery. Stylized roses are set within octagons bordered by intricate meanders, and stitched in a traditional palette of black, red, and soft olive on Ashwood linen. In Byzantine art, the octagon was associated with the heavenly and the meander with infinity and eternity, making this design rich with symbolism and meaning. This was the third folk embroidery I ever stitched and I often display it in my entryway so I can see it as we come and go throughout the day.

What you'll make: A 20 x 20" decorative table square (can also be finished as a cushion cover; lining not included in kit)

Kit Includes: One 22 x 22" piece of 30ct European linen in Ashwood
DMC 6-strand embroidery floss
John James size 24 cross stitch needle
Full color chart and instructions

Stitch count: 20,144 cross stitches (239 x 239 stitch area)
