Florentine Tiles Cross Stitch Kit by Avlea Folk Embroidery.
The Florentine Tiles cross stitch folk embroidery kit evokes the intricate tiled floors of Italian palazzos and is a delightful example of how the same geometric vocabulary moves between mosaics, ceramics, and textiles across centuries. Stitched in a bright palette of navy, copper, light gold, soft green, and peacock blue, it has the jewel-like quality of Florentine ceramics and looks just as good on a table as it does on a wall.
