We've switched faves. :D Mine if I ever do something like this, would be Sunset then the Tinikling Dance. :D Which of the patterns will you do? :D
Oh, the paintings and the stitchings look just lovely! Thank you for sharing :)
Toni,
They are all lovely. I can see why you bought ALL of them...no way could I choose just one. LOL
What a fantastic exhibit AND post. Thank you for thinking of us and taking the time to put such a lovely post together to share with us.
I look forward to watching all of these come to life through your lovely cross stitch.
Hugs - Bobbie :)
Wow! That is so cool! What an excellent exhibition. I love that they showed a cross stitch in progress too to give people an idea of what a lot of work it is, but how beautiful the result will be. Thanks for sharing all these gorgeous pictures.
The pictures all look so lovely! It must have been great to take a look at the wonderful work :)
I can understand that you have not been able to resist the patterns ;) one day your work will just look as beautiful :)
Oh wow sis! That's amazing! What a fantastic exhibit. I love the patterns you bought ... who could resist? :D :D
I'm so glad you were able to share these with us, it's lovely to be able to see it as well.
We don't seem to have anything like this where I live sadly.
Was it a popular exhibit?
:)
Hi sis Kim! Yes, it was popular, specially with the stitchers :-)
What a brilliant exhibition Toni, and I love Fernando Amorsolo's family photos that you have included. Thank you for showing us your all your photos :)
i like the Tinikling Dance too. i'll definitely wait for the patterns to arrive in Davao =)
Lovely pics, I really envy all who are able to visit such an exhibition =D
What a beautiful exhibition! I can't wait to see your progress on these.
would you know if the amorsolo patterns are still being sold or was it just for the duration of the exhibit?
where do you buy your cross stitching supplies? i used to get mine from stitches n things and those other craft stores in malls which have now sadly closed down :(
Hi Gez,
Thanks for dropping by. The Amorsolo patterns are still being sold, you can find them in the DMC store in Megamall, Dreams (I wrote about a post about them here) in Glorietta 5 as well as in stores in Quiapo and in Divisoria. I usually buy my supplies from any of those I've mentioned :-)
@ Toni, thank you for your quick reply :)
Hi toni, I just want to ask where in quiapo and in divisoria you buy your pattern. I love the amorsolo patterns
Hi Jezza,
Sorry for this late reply, I just dropped by my blog today :D
You can find the Amorsolo (and several others) patterns in Mimosa and also in Tony's Lace in Quiapo Market, I think, it's Villalobos St.
In Divisoria, you can find said patterns in New State Lace Center in Tutuban.
Thanks for reading :-)
Hi! I'm new in the whole cross stitching thing. I kind of wanted to find some productive hobbies this summer and I got excited at the thought of cross stitching because it's just beautiful :) Would you mind if I asked do you know where I can avail of cross stitch kits or patterns for beginners (Except DMC world)? Would really appreciate your reply. :)
Hi Mansch,
DMC produced some starter kits and you can find them in Dreams. Heavenly Stitchin Moment in Mall of Asia also sells cross stitch kits.
Hi, I'm a cross stitcher from Malaysia. DMC Philippines is really amazing - so active and creative! 'Sunset - Return of the Fisherman' is my favourite.
wonderful and inspiring, I hope to be able to stitch the sunset myself, thanks for sharing Toni.
How much do these patterns cost? Is there any way i can buy it online?
Hi Ermilyn,
I am not sure of the current prices of these patterns, but when I bought them, around P100++.
I think there are some online sellers in Facebook.
Thanks for dropping by my blog.
