Madonna and Child Ukrainian Cross Stitch

Madonna and Child Ukrainian Cross Stitch

This 18 color Ukrainian madonna and child image from the Museum Collection of the Ukrainian Women's Association of Canada was cross stitched by my mother-in-law from a pattern drawn by Nell Burianyk. The colors are more vibrant than shown, but I had to photograph it in the shade because it is framed with highly reflective glass. The shade and glass create a blue cast to the image.
