Satu daerah yang dikunjungi tahun 1995 adalah Sumatera Barat. Tempat yang sempat dikunjungi waktu itu adalah kota Padang dan Bukittinggi. Waktu itu aku survey mengenai fungsi jembatan timbang di daerah pinggiran kota Padang.


Tempat yang sempat dikunjungi waktu itu adalah Ngarai Sianok dan Jam Gadang.


Makanya kemudian aku terinspirasi untuk bikin taplak meja dari cross stitch juga. Setelah dapet polanya, mulailah dibuat taplak dengan kain dan benang yang aku mau.

Years ago, when I traveled frequently for working, the thing I like is the search for unique souvenirs of a region visited. Whether it's food or signature fabric.
One region that is visited in the year 1995 is West Sumatera. Places that I visited at that time was the city of Padang and Bukittinggi. At the time I did some survey on the use of weigh stations at the suburbs of Padang. Bukittinggi is a must-to-visit city, besides the tourism places and foods we can also find unique traditional embroidery of West Sumatera. But I could only visited Ngarai Sianok (Sianok Canyon) and Jam Gadang (Gadang Clock).
And it's time to look for some souvenirs. I chose this pink fabric with embroideries to be made into a tunic dress. Unwittingly, cross stitch has become my favorite since a long time. So when I saw the tablecloth, I also bought it without a prior plan. It was quite pretty...
So then I was inspired to make a cross stitch tablecloth as well. After I got the pattern, I started to pick the color that I want and started to stitch it before I lost my anxiety.
The tablecloth will be very beautiful. Please post a picture when it is finished. I can't wait to see it.
