Avlea Folk Embroidery creates beautiful kits inspired by the intricate designs and vibrant colors of Mediterranean folk embroidery. With a commitment to plastic-free packaging, all Avlea kits are packaged in eco-friendly glassine bags and include everything you need to create your own beautiful cross stitch sampler.
Inspired by a traditional embroidery from the small town of Berova in northern Macedonian, this design’s bold motifs evoke a “bartisan,” a corner turret on a medieval castle, many of which can be seen throughout the Balkans where this design originated. The lavish use of red and garnet are traditional to many Balkan textiles and create a wonderfully intense energy to this striking table mat.
This design is quite easy to use to make larger runners—simply use a longer piece of cloth and work more repeats of the design.
Included in the pattern are directions and supply lists for various finishing options (pillow cover, wall hanging, decorative cloth, and framed textile) and the Demos page has step-by-step instructions.
