Sprinkled with delicate celandine flowers—a type of yellow poppy that blooms throughout the Mediterranean in springtime--this border-within-a-border design is inspired by a vintage Greek table mat I acquired years ago. Diamonds and scrolls stitched in golden olive with navy and green accents create a rich, elegant effect. While the original was worked on 40ct canvas, this version is worked on 30ct linen to make a medium-size table runner.

My high quality kits come with everything you need to make the embroidery in the photos--our 30ct Greek linen in Vanilla, DMC floss, full color SOC (symbol-on-chart) pattern, along with a John James size 24 tapestry needle. The raw edges of the fabric are serged for your convenience, so you can start stitching as soon as you open the kit!
