Hungarian embroidery.

I was lucky to have grown up with a tradition of needlework in my family. My mother sews beautifully (she made my wedding dress!) and she cross-stitches and knits as well, so there was always fabric, yarn, and embroidery floss about for me to use.

Ottoman tulip design

Well loved, used and worn cutting board with a classic Amish, Pennsylvania Dutch painting, a Double Distlefink. The Distlefink is the good luck bird of the early Pennsylvania Dutch. The two birds gives a "double" measure of good fortune. The Trinity tulips stand for faith in yourself, faith in what you do and faith in your fellow man. Measures 14" tall including the handle x 7" wide x 1/2" thick Great addition to your Amish collection or for your kitchen wall decor or even to use! Nice!
