Enjoyed your insights, Emily! It reminded me of my student days stitching antique, embroidered scarves with my late Grandma Tessie. Is there a specific era these traditional mandala-turka designs originate from? Your focus on historic symbolic craft cultures,, I believe, could inspire the next generation to rekindle these fading traditions. Have you considered exploring the switch from hand embroidery to machine? Switching, though potentially improves speed and efficiency, I think somewhat takes away from the personalized authenticity. Rippling sacramental contrasts stirred up in memory achieved through your post was decorously nostalgic! Could we anticipate more on salvaging dying domestic creativity (),retain historic threads in upheaving fast fashion dominion? Intriguing rally, regards, Lidia 💫🌼
