Pomegranate Collection patterns are designs which I have not stitched a sample yet for the cover image, but I just couldn't wait to share this design! So, these are less expensive and only available as downloads. If you stitch a Pomegranate Collection pattern and submit it for photography, you'll receive a $50 Avlea website credit (and you get your embroidery back, too!). Contact me at avleaembroidery@gmail.com if you are interested in submitting your embroidery.
 
This lovely design features ancient motifs including an eight-pointed star, a unique lozenge with flourishes, and several kinds of stars and flowers. Worked in a traditional color palette called the “zoe” or “living” colors, the predominantly featured bright coral red is associated with new life and Greek Pascha (Easter). You can make the table runner longer by using a longer piece of fabric and working more repeats of the small side borders.
