Avlea Folk Embroidery Calliope’s Meadow Cross Stitch Table Runner by Krista West

Avlea Folk Embroidery Calliope’s  MeadowCross Stitch Table Runner by Krista West.

This lovely design—inspired by a tiny border on a traditional bed curtain from the Greek islands—is made up of carnations alternating with flower bud sprays which create a beautiful chevron border effect. The fresh and delicate colours evoke a meadow presided over by Calliope, muse of poetry and eloquence. Shown worked as a table runner, it would be beautiful as a cushion cover or wall hanging.
