This stunning ornate cross stitch border is reminiscent of embroidery designs worked throughout the Cyclades, a group of Greek islands in the Aegean sea. Tulips, cornflowers, and carnations are combined with scrolling leaves and grounded by a starkly geometric border.
Red-on-white is the traditional colorway, but it could be stitched in any color (or colors!) you choose.
