This pattern was inspired by The Little Brown church which I attended as a kid. I spent a lot of time scooting under the pews, and creating my own underground passages, with only legs and feet of fellow churchgoers to interfere with my journeys. This pattern is stitched on 16 ct Water Lily Aida by Wichelt and is available in the 2018 released book, A Cross-Stitch Christmas published by Craftways.

Thank you, Deepali Dewan @deepalidewa for inviting me to the conversation connected to Swapnaa Tamhane @swapnaa_tamhane exhibition on view at @romtoronto right now. Look forward to our conversation with Shanay Jhaveri @shanaypjhaveri on June 8! Link in bio to register! FREE Zoom program. RSVP Required. ROM Connects Reframing Art. Craft. Design Wednesday, June 8, 2022, 11:00 am to 12:00 pm EDT Challenging the colonial hierarchical separation of art, craft, and design is one of the thematic notions raised in ROM’s newest exhibition, Swapnaa Tamhane: Mobile Palace – a visual feast consisting of sweeping block-printed and embroidered textile installations. ROM curator Deepali Dewan takes a closer look with special guest speakers, Met curator Shanay Jhaveri and Critical Craft Forum co-founder Namita Gupta Wiggers. Shanay Jhaveri explores how artists have responded to the city of Chandigarh, designed by the Swiss-French modernist architect, Le Corbusier, in the early years of India’s independence, while Namita Gupta Wiggers shares the thinking behind “craftscape”, a term she coined to describe the reframing of craft as something more than just a commodity. Swapnaa Tamhane: Mobile Palace is on now until August 1 2022. The exhibition catalogue, Swapnaa Tamhane: Mobile Palace Exhibit Guide is available for sale alongside Sar: The Essence of Indian Design.

I wanted to make nutcrackers that matched the magic I felt the first time I saw the ballet. It was gauzy, icy and pastel and the feeling I got stuck in my mind for decades. I used Mill Hill beads and Kreinik blending filament to add sparkle. These three guys are in the 2020 book, A Cross Stitch Christmas.
