BitKit Athenian Sunflowers folk embroidery kit's charming design originates in a vintage needlework booklet from Greece. It’s stylised sunflowers alternate with large Xs, motifs common in many Greek folk embroideries and would have most likely been used as a border for cushion covers. The colour palette is fresh and vibrant and the outlining stitches worked in grey-brown provide intricacy and contrast. Stitched using cross stitches and backstitches.
