This embroidered street art installation is pretty much pure loveliness.

We daresay this is one of the most impressive (and delightful) cross-stitch art installations we’ve ever seen. Raquel Rodrigo, a Madrid-based lass, whose résumé includes stints working in set design and interior decoration, has popped her large-scale floral needlework up around the streets of her hometown (and up around Valencia, too). Take a peek at our gallery below to see the stitching in its various stages, then head over to Raquel’s website to see more of what she calls “embroidered architecture”.
