Ink Circles - Hawaiian Sampler

Whether you’re saying “When you dance, leave your bashfulness at home” (which is A'a i ka hula, waiho ka hilahila i ka hale) or Merry Christmas (the familiar: Mele Kalikimaka) the Hawaiians need only 12 letters to do it. That’s a whole lot of hula packed into 54% less alphabet than the rest of us need.

These tropical colors spill out into floral mandalas that are reminiscent of the traditional Hawaiian quilts.

127 x 201 stitch count.

The model was stitched on 32 count Antique White Belfast linen using Carrie’s Threads.
