Corfu Wildflowers Cross Stitch Kit by Avlea Folk Embroidery.
The Corfu Wildflowers cross stitch folk embroidery kit is a profusion of traditional floral motifs inspired by historic textiles from the Greek islands and stitched in a classic Mediterranean palette of terra cotta, alizarin, antique blue, deep green, and golden olive. It's a rich, layered design that rewards slow stitching, and the border format makes it terrific for finishing as either a table runner or a cushion cover. The pattern draws on the embroidery traditions of Corfu and the Ionian islands, where densely floral borders like this one were a signature of the regional style.
