The Kalamata Courtyard cross stitch folk embroidery kit is adapted from a vintage embroidery pattern from the Peloponnesian region of Greece, an area with a long and venerable history of beautiful textiles. The intricate outlining and juxtaposition of floral and geometric elements worked in bright blues and reds accented with golden olive is a wonderful example of classic Greek folk embroidery at its most vibrant and delightful. On my last trip to Greece, I saw this design in stitched in several formats (repeating tiles, borders, as a motif in the corner of a table square) and I created this variation as an heirloom for my granddaughter's prika collection.

The Peloponnese has been producing extraordinary embroidery for centuries, and this vintage pattern carries that tradition beautifully into a modern stitching project.
