Folk Fabric Cross Stitch Bookmark Kit - Ivory

The Folk Fabric Sampler cross stitch folk embroidery kit is a great way to introduce new stitchers to the world of folk embroidery fabrics. Stitch a trio of beautiful bookmarks, each on a different classic folk fabric, so you can feel the difference between them firsthand and discover which one you love most (or maybe all three!). 

Three traditional borders--a small diamond, a laurel leaf, and a carnation--are stitched in a classic Mediterranean palette of terra cotta, warm blue, green, and gold for a set of bookmarks to enjoy with your next read or to gift!

The three fabrics included are the most popular of Avlea's folk fabrics: 26ct Traditional Groundcloth, 26ct Mikini ivory, and 30ct Mikini ivory. Each has its own distinctive hand and texture, and stitching all three side by side is the best way to understand what makes each one special.
