About this Product
Have you ever heard of a flower that grows in the Himalayas and appears to reflect the very color of the sky? I didn't know this rare plant existed until recently. The Himalayan blue poppy (Meconopsis betonicifolia), which blooms in late May to early June in the high Himalayas, has sky-blue flowers that captivated my attention the first time I saw it. I created this modern, fiber art interpretation of this rare, blue poppy to decorate my space. Now, you can get this pattern so you can make it, too. The pattern is ideal for beginners or those who want to do a quick project. Sections of this pattern will require you to focus to complete the center and the outlines of the flower. While the sky-blue petals are perfect for stitching when you don't want to count and are a bit tired. This pattern looks beautiful finished in a frame, or would be lovely as a pillow, a biscornu, or an ornament.

Meet the Maker
Hello and welcome to Ancient Sage Designs!
I am Shazeeda, the embroidery designer and owner of this little shop. Many generations removed from the Indian subcontinent, I am from ‘the land of many waters’, Guyana in South America. Not knowing where my Indian ancestors came from, I am drawn to the artifacts in museums that have been displaced from their native homelands. I am inspired by centuries-old architectural tiles, ceramics, and textile patterns.
Drawing from the artistry of the Ottoman, Mughal, Mauryan, Roman, and Egyptian empires, I love transforming ancient and natural patterns into cross-stitch embroidery charts and crafting the models you see in this shop's product listings. I enjoy showcasing the beauty of our world's cultural and natural histories through embroidery art.
Most of all, I love designing and cross stitching because it allows me to slow down and focus. I am excited to offer these patterns to you so that you can also enjoy stitching these beautiful, historical, and natural designs.

How it’s Made
My patterns are created from the inspiration that I get from patterns that I find in our world's museums or in our natural environment. I personally model stitch each pattern as I enjoy the stitching process and believe it is important to test stitch to ensure a high quality pattern. Some patterns take a month or two to design, and sometimes, months to stitch depending on how quickly I can stitch them and how big they are. I know all cross stitchers can appreciate this. Our hobby is a labor of love whether we are stitching a pattern for ourselves or as a gift for a loved one. The art of embroidery and especially cross-stitching is a wonderful craft to get us to slow down and watch something beautiful emerge with time using needle, thread, and fabric. I hope you love the designs that I create and will enjoy stitching them.
Peace and happy stitching,
Shazeeda
