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.
What you'll make: a 13 x 15" table runner
What's in your kit:
- One 15 x 17" piece of 26ct 100% cotton Traditional Groundcloth in white
- DMC 6-strand embroidery floss
- John James size 24 cross stitch needle
- Full color chart and instructions
Stitches used: Cross stitch Skill level: Beginner Stitch count: 8,721 cross stitches (127 × 161 stitch area)
Please note: 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.
