Photo of the Week - Byzantine Tile Projects
Wednesday November 11, 2009
Connie Colvin sent in this photo of two finished cross stitch pieces from the free Byzantine Tile patterns. She describes the projects. "I haven't cross stitched in more than 8 years (I crochet and knit primarily) but happened on the free patterns for the Byzantine Tiles and had to pick up a needle! I had also never worked with linen before but really love the look. I plan to stitch more, now!" Read more.

These are stunning pieces. I love the color choices and the patterns.
Those are lovely!! Great job, especially after such a long hiatus away from the needle! And how wonderful to have such great free patterns right here!
Wow! I like those.
I love tile patterns! Never thought of them in cross stich, but I guess it makes perfect sense!~ Beautiful.
Tiles in stitches — I like the concept. Pretty colors too!
What pretty and detailed projects! I particularly like the pink background and dark frame. It makes them pop.
I love these! Byzantine art is so rich and colorful. These tile patterns just might inspire me to pick up a needle again.
It really is lovely, especially in the frame.
They are beautifully worked. It’s easy to see how someone could get hooked on cross stitch it’s so versatile.
Very lovely. It must take lots of patience to do those, as it takes lots of patience to lay tile for mosaics!
