I was honored to keep such a glorious design alive for the next generation and prevent it being lost to history. The intricate central motif of crosses, tulips, and arrows appears in both Armenian and Greek folk embroideries in several variations, a reminder of how deeply intertwined folk embroidery is in many lands. Worked in a sophisticated palette of coral, warm blue, green, old gold, garnet, alizarin, and turquoise, all balanced and grounded by black outlining, it is a genuinely stunning example of how folk embroidery combines bold geometric elements with intricate backstitch and a graceful use of negative space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is a large, ambitious table runner and one of the most rewarding pieces in the Avlea collection.\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 17 x 40\" table runner\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 19 x 42\" piece of 30ct 100% 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, backstitch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 12,468 cross stitches, 19,990 backstitches (214 x 556 stitch area)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eKrista's note: for Taline's Tulips Large, I used 2 strands of DMC for all backstitches and have included enough floss for that; if you prefer a more delicate backstitch look, please see the Taline's Tulips Small for what 1 strand of DMC looks like.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e the drawn thread hem finishing shown in the photos has to be done after the design is stitched; the fabric in your kit will come with the raw edges serged so they don't unravel while you are stitching.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stitchers Corner Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52856295784737,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5331\/5361\/files\/TalinesTulipsfolkembroiderycoverimage2_jpg.webp?v=1781607113","url":"https:\/\/stitcherscorner.com.au\/products\/venetian-coins-cross-stitch-kit-by-avlea-folk-embroidery-copy","provider":"Stitchers' Corner Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
