'NEW! Anthemion Mini Wall Hanging Embroidery Kit

The Anthemion folk embroidery kit takes its name from the Greek word for flower or blossom, and it showcases a vibrant floral motif drawn straight from the Greek folk embroidery tradition. Worked in a fabulous traditional palette of terra cotta, alizarin, peacock blue, gold, rosewood, and green on Essex cotton-linen, the design is stitched in the traditional manner using just two classic stitches--approachable for a beginner and deeply satisfying to work. Finished as a mini wall hanging on a beechwood tapestry rod, it's a beautiful alternative to displaying in an embroidery hoop and a genuine little piece of textile art to enjoy every day. I learned this stitch technique on my last trip to Greece and this was one of my favorite stitching projects all year!
