Free Pueblo Pot Cross Stitch Pattern Collection

I am constantly on the lookout for inspiration for Cross Stitch patterns. I look at architectural details, paintings, flowers, clouds, textures and so much more. I create a variety of patterns for About.com Cross Stitch, but my favorite sort are geometric in nature.

Recently, I got lost in looking at Pueblo Pottery. I loved all the shapes and sizes of the pots and the intricate designs on them. The colors choices were interesting and somehow made me feel closer to the earth and nature.

As a result of this inspirational session, I designed the charts in the Pueblo Pot Collection. The shapes of the pots are traditional, but the designs are my own, as inspired by traditional elements from the pots I perused.

Use the suggested colors or select a palette for the pots that pleases you. Elizabeth R. Rose, About.com Guide to Southwest US Travel, has all sorts of information about Pueblo Pots, including:

• How Pueblo Pottery is Made and Why it is an Investment in the Future
• Visiting Noreen Simplicio of Zuni Pueblo
• Pottery of New Mexico - Felipe Ortega Micaceous Cooking Pottery
