I've been cross stitching off and on for many years, but this is my first dive into folk embroidery and I'm smitten. The geometry is so, so satisfying and I love the way the stitches disappear with the tiny fabric.
I'm using 28ct linen aida because that's what I could get my hands on quickly, so instead of ~8x11", I'm getting 5x7" instead, whoops! I'm planning to turn this into the cover of a new needle book when I'm done stitching.
Lots of lessons learned, but I'm really loving the process and I'm already daydreaming about my next project.
Beautiful Mediterranean look and perfect for a needle book. You must show us the finished project. Was this a Pomegranite collection pattern?
This looks fantastic! Aren't those repeating patterns just the best?!
