Type: Cross Stitch Kits

The Somerset Meander cross stitch folk embroidery kit is inspired by the mosaic floor patterns of British architect and designer Owen Jones, whose work I was introduced to in my early twenties. A vibrant central meander is flanked by a secondary meander border on the perimeter and a small pearled border on the interior, worked in a sophisticated palette of brown-grey, terra cotta, gold, and warm blue. The connection between mosaic and cross stitch is a natural one that is rarely explored: both work on a grid system, and Jones's geometric precision translates into cross stitch with a remarkable fluency.

Owen Jones is an artist whose work I have long admired: he made a pilgrimage to the Alhambra in Granada, Spain at the age of 26 and the Moorish palace's stunning geometric ornament became a defining influence on his artistic vision for the rest of his career, including his landmark work, "The Grammar of Ornament."
