Global Tour Part 2: A Stitcher's Double Delight
As we continue our tour around the globe, let us venture a little bit further south in Europe to the city of Torino, a city Italy that the Rovaris sisters call home. While working at the Houston Quilt Festival we found their charming booth just around the corner from ours. Decked out in homespun red and white ticking, the booth exuded a warmth and hospitality amidst the hustle and bustle of the Festival around us. In an age where so much is made by machine, it was a breath of fresh air to see that everything they design is made by hand, including these monogram pendant necklaces.
Monogram Pendant Necklaces by Rovaris
While cross stitch have waned in some areas over the past few years, it is very much alive and well in Europe according to the Rovaris sisters. Their small business, born from their love of cross stitch, has grown over the past ten years by leaps and bounds. But, as is often the case, the road that lead them to where they are today came from a much different direction. --Lilo Bowman
