There are still a few days left to win an Egyptian Appliqué from the Tentmakers of Cairo. The deadline is June 30, 2016.

 
Watch this video to see Master Tentmaker Ashraf Hashem go through the process of creating a hand stitched masterpiece. The art is known as Khayamiya (Tentmaking), an ancient Egyptian art that was usually commissioned by nobles to decorate the interior of their magnificent tents.
