A closer look...jpeg image

 

Evangeline was inspired by the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Their perseverance in the face of extreme hardship is symbolized by this beautiful Cajun woman standing in defiance of the gathering wind.

Her over one face is optional (an over two face is provided as well). Needlepaints are recommended, but DMC alternatives are also indicated. Four shades of Rainbow Gallery's Splendor Silk Designer Collection (available on one card as #SC1) are used.

She is stitched on Zweigart's Tobacco (golden mustard color) linen. This color is loved by those who have seen it but has not yet been used on many designs.

Evangeline will mean many things to many stitchers as each interprets her with their own perspective.
