African Folklore Embroidery is owned by Leora Raikin, a South African native, living in Los Angeles. She sells wonderful pre-printed fabric panels (which can be purchased separately - without the hand dyed yarns).

I LOVE THESE! - and of course I DO NOT do ANY hand embroidery . . . I do them all on my machine!
With "hand look" stitches, and my machine embroidery thread.

African Folklore Embroidery is assoated with Kidzpositive (supporting HIV positive children in Africa) and all sales help South African women earn income - which has allowed many to move into homes with electricity and running water.
