Welcome to my page on Modern Islamic Cross-Stitch!
[img:602937]
Although I have only been primarily exposed to cross-stitch as a practiced form of embroidery in this country, North America, I have found elements of cross-stitch embroidery in many Middle Eastern/Islamic designs for clothing and other accessories.
As the world turns into more and more of a melting pot, more and more cultural elements are becoming blended together. Modern Islamic X-stitch is a representation of this.
Personally, I have been intrigued with cross-stitch ever since I received my first pattern and completed it - oh, some twenty years ago now. In my late teens, I began experimenting with ways of producing Islamic designs.
Check back often if you are interested in my progress! Patterns for almost all peices are available, with prices for the patterns varying based on how complex they are.
If you are interested in purchasing a finished piece, contact me at sarathecookie@aol.com.
