The design in the outer border is symbolic of flowers. The central motifs are based on the Christian cross and tree of life. Note that the red background also forms a cross. The motifs that are like the one in the exact center are known as star-tile crosses. This design is unusual in that the cross-star of the background is diagonally oriented rather than vertically and horizontally oriented. Most oriental carpets are not based on Christian designs but on insects, animals and unknown derivatives. This design was inspired by a Christian carpet in the Detroit Institute of Arts.

A special fabric, often called needlepoint canvas, is most often used as the stitched medium. A needle threaded with wool or any other fiber is used to stitch patterns in the canvas. The canvas has rectangular openings in the weave that allow the needle to pass through the canvas easily. There may be hundreds of stitch variations and many names for them, but the fundamental stitches are the basketweave, the continental and the half-cross. These are called "tent" stitches, probably because they make an inverted "V" over an intersection of threads in the fabric.

Cross Stitch: In this form of needlecraft designs are sewn into cloth much the same as embroidery but the design classically follows a set pattern of stitches that form diagonal crosses. The design can be applied in several ways or the design can be taken from charts. Cross stitch is related to needlepoint and the same charts and designs can be used for both. The placement of each stitch is found by counting rows and columns. Hence, it is often called "counted cross stitch."
