Village Dancers Mini Wall Hanging Folk Embroidered Kit by Avlea Folk Embroidery
Village Dancers Mini Wall Hanging Folk Embroidered Kit by Avlea Folk Embroidery.
The Village Dancers cross stitch folk embroidery kit is inspired by a piece of Cretan weaving shared with me by a friend, which I've adapted into cross stitch. A row of happy folk dancers is set within classic folk embroidery borders in a bright palette of navy, coral, garnet, yellow, and green, finished as a charming mini wall hanging on a beechwood tapestry rod. This style of wall hanging is common in Greece and a beautiful alternative to displaying in an embroidery hoop. It's a joyful little piece with a lot of energy — I can almost hear the music!
