Good morning Cuties, it seems that even the weather is mourning Tata Madiba today. Unseasonal rain is forecast for the memorial service today.

A photostitch would be a lovely way to memorialize a truly great leader.

My thoughts are with your country as the world mourns the passing of a great man.

Thank you. There is great praise in South Africa for the speech by the US President, Mr Barack Obama, at today's memorial service for the late Nelson Mandela.

In addition to 'sadp's' link to a Nelson Mandela design (see below) , here is another: YoThreadWorks . Yet another is also available on another link but the resemblance, to me, is not good.

There is a photostitch of Mandela at embroideryMIX. Go to People Legends, then Legendary people and it is there but the name has been misspelled slightly. It is not a freebie @ $5.99, hugs S*

Thank you for the excellent lead. I have previously embroidered photostitch designs from embroideryMIX.
Greetings from a WET South Africa. Patricia

There seems to be a few of us living in Pretoria maybe we could organize a get together next year...I would also love a photostitch design of Mandiba

Over to you Stella - Yvonne and I are smelling the coffee!

Good morning Stella - I was also wondering if any of the embroidery sites will bring out designa for Tata. It is raining here in Knysna as well so even the weather is in mourning. Sarah

Thank you ladies, far distant from us in South Africa, for your kind thoughts today.

High Stella in Pretoria from me also in Pretoria on this memorable day in the history of South Africa. Yes, I too, would love to have a photostitch design of Nelson Mandela. Greetings to you, Patricia in Rietondale
