Borders are seen in almost every type of Mediterranean folk embroidery, both as a way to frame a design, and sometimes as the design itself (as seen in cushion covers and table mats). This delightful sampler features a lovely carnation border set above ten traditional border patterns. Worked in six shades of reds and corals, you can easily substitute the color family of your choice (blues, greens, etc).
