Native Americans Are Justifiably Proud of Their Cross Stitch Heritage

The Native American people are proud of their heritage and of their ways. They have endured many tragedies throughout history, but they have stood strong and not turned their backs on those that went before. It is because of their strength and heritage that many companies have designed Native American cross stitch patterns to honor these people.

Native American cross stitch patterns largely feature the earth tones such as brown, grey, tan, green, and yellow. However, depending on which tribe the patterns are based upon, you might also get red, blue, and purple. Most, if not all, will have elements of nature and animals, as well.

Spirituality is very important among Native Americans. Because spirituality was such a part of their culture, the patterns you find might also have prayers included with them. Their belief that the animal spirits affect their daily life explains why there are often wolves, eagles, and bears in their charts.

Other components you might find in Native American cross stitch patterns are historical figures, dancers, dream catchers, and examples of pottery. What do you do, however, if you have in mind a certain image, but can't find it? You may be able to create your own pattern with software that creates a cross stitch pattern based on a photograph that you provide. PC Stitch, Ursa Software, and HobbyWare's Pattern Maker are all examples of this type of software.

If you are curious about the type of patterns available, you might want to look on the internet. Start a search using Google, Yahoo, or some other search engine, and search the phrase "Native American cross stitch" or "free Native American cross stitch patterns." In either case, there should be many pages of possible websites for you to check out.

Perhaps you've found a pattern you really like while you were surfing the internet. You may not be able to purchase the pattern at a local craft store, so be prepared to buy it from an online supplier. Often the pattern can be purchased separately, or possibly as a kit where all of the thread and the fabric is included. Generally, shipping charges aren't expensive, and you should receive iyour kit in less than two weeks.

Deciding on a subject for a cross stitch project is a very personal matter. There are patterns and kits for nearly every topic under the sun. If your interest lies in Native American cross stitch, you're in luck. The wide range of patterns available today are beautiful and will make an incredible finished piece.
