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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOwen 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.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you'll make:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 20 x 20\" cushion cover or decorative table square (cushion backing not included)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in your kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOne 22 x 22\" piece of 30ct European linen in Vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDMC 6-strand embroidery floss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eJohn James size 24 cross stitch needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFull colour chart and instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitches used:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cross stitch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill level: \u003c\/strong\u003eConfident Beginner to Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitch count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26,308 cross stitches (261 x 261 stitch area)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stitchers Corner Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52860835922209,"sku":null,"price":121.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5331\/5361\/files\/SomersetMeanderfolkembroideryfullsizeimage_jpg.webp?v=1781682695","url":"https:\/\/stitcherscorner.com.au\/products\/santorini-stars-cross-stitch-kit-by-avlea-folk-embroidery-copy","provider":"Stitchers' Corner Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
