I had found this pattern on Etsy when I first discovered Etsy.com for cross stitch about 4 years ago. This really reminds me of the time I spent living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I had searched and searched for a fabric that could help capture the heat, the active frenzy of life, and the beautiful color of the dirt in Africa. I was so excited when I found this one at Mo's Sale that seemed perfect!
I only got a little bit of stitching done on this of the two African hut statues on my first stitching session.
The next time I pulled this out to stitch I got a bit more done on the first fence post. There is another design above it that you will find out more about later :). Until then,...Happy Stitching!
This is such an interesting chart reflecting different aspect of a different culture. Would love to do something like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I saw this scene everyday when I lived in Africa.
DeleteThe fabric you chose is wonderful. I can't wait to see this piece grow.
