I'm thinking of doing some entries, with pictures, about Ukrainian "stuff": food, traditions, folk embroidery, iconography, church art and music and so on.

Anyone have strong feelings either way?

I've been asked to stitch an icon for my church (I'm Ukrainian Catholic, so icons are an integral part of the religion, and there is a tradition of stitched rather than painted icons from the time of Soviet rule, when it was illegal to worship). I have a gorgeous pattern of the Holy Family, drawn by a Ukrainian priest who did a whole set of icon patterns after the fall of Communism, to preserve the craft.

Pattern, materials, and question here )

I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!
