The Mulberry Leaf cross stitch folk embroidery pattern is an intricate, deeply satisfying design featuring a stylized mulberry leaf motif worked in deep blue and terra cotta, colors that echo the historic silk textiles this pattern pays homage to. The border mirrors along each edge in a way that creates a remarkable use of negative space; it's one of those designs that looks more complex than it stitches.

The mulberry leaf is an homage to sericulture - silk production - which flourished during the Byzantine Empire and is still practiced in parts of Greece today. This embroidery is truly a connection to a magnificent textile past!

Stitched on 26 ct. Traditional Groundscloth in Natural with DMC floss. The stitch count is 275 x 275 and the finished size is 20 3/4" x 20 3/4".
