HERE'S A HINT:
Two years ago I visited the Maori Heritage Center in Rotorua, NZ, where we toured a Maori "village" and saw exhibits and demonstrations of indigenous crafts. I spent so much time studying and trying to photograph the walls of the Meeting House, I got only a brief look inside the Weaving House and missed the jade carving altogether. Imagine a large, rectangular hall with near floor to ceiling panels of woven samplers. Take a close look at the "stitches" and the designs produced in these panels. I don't believe there was an inch of wall and ceiling space that didn't have decorative carving or ornamentation of some kind. I just wanted to share this while we wind up our cross stitch study.
