Embroideries from India/Pakistan

Some of the gorgeous textiles that John Gillow passed around.This pulkari pattern is called the moon pattern. I was tempted to take it home with me...
A jolly interplay of elements in this one -
It does cry out for some stroking....
More "mixed media" - on a largeish bag -

John always has the most amazing pieces to show doesn't he.

I wonder where the Phulkari pattern is from. I have seen several till date as it is part of my culture but the the one above is more ornate and has more colours than I would expect.
