Eliska cross stitch basket cloth kit

The Eliska cross stitch folk embroidery kit is inspired by a vintage Slovakian embroidery and showcases a simple yet elegant border worked in a restful green palette on crisp white evenweave, finished with an easy fringe. It's the kind of piece that looks completely at home in a basket or under a vase of flowers, and the fringe finish gives it a relaxed, handmade quality that is very appealing. Slovakian folk embroidery has a quiet sophistication that doesn't always get the attention it deserves, and this border is a lovely example of the beauty of simple repetition.
