Escher Tumbling Blocks (Counted Canvas Kit)
“Tumbling Blocks have a long history in the grammar of ornament, dating as far back as Ancient Greece, when the pattern appeared as a mosaic floor design. It may have been introduced into quilt-making in the 1850s. Also known as cube work, the stunning optical results of floating, stacked, and overall cubic arrangements are achieved through the distribution of color and light and dark pieces.”
The reason why we choose to kit this design with Zweigart Penelope antique brown canvas, is because you don’t need to embroider the background! The canvas is so beautiful that the end result looks amazing as it is :)
Please note that this is a counted needlepoint (or cross-stitch) canvas, so you don’t have the design printed but rather a charted design pattern to guide you when stitching.
You can choose from two available versions of this design:
- Version 1: Blue & Pink
- Version 2: Brown & Green

SINGLE PACKAGING FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS:
To be more sustainable, we consciously try to reduce the amount of materials used in packaging.
When buying more than one kit or canvas, we will always try to fit them into a single packaging tube or box that best fits their size, and as they are for the same person we will only include 1 printed needlepoint booklet.
However, if you add a gift message at checkout, select the gift wrapping option, or let us know in advance that you are buying a gift, we make sure that all kits are shipped in individual packaging.
