BitKit Asteria cross stitch folk embroidery kit

The BitKit Asteria folk embroidery kit features an graceful star motif set within an intricate medallion. Inspired by a vintage Greek embroidery design, it is stitched in two-tone ecru and grey-blue on a soft blue evenweave fabric with accents of coral for a tiny table mat showcasing the charm of folk embroidery. I love little table mats like this on my desk with a candle or a small vase of flowers!

I have specifically designed this kit with a beginner in mind. You can find additional support with my How To videos or at our Avlea Stitchers Facebook page. 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.
