These 100% cotton tree ornaments were sewn in the village of Surif between Bethlehem and Hebron by the Surif Women’s Cooperative. The group was founded in 1983 but traces its roots to 1950 when Mennonite volunteers founded an embroidery program in the village to provide opportunities for refugee women. From Sunbula: “Surif’s Women’s Cooperative is known for their distinct style, using cream-colored ‘mansouri’ cotton fabric instead of the popular ‘eitamin’ cross-stitch canvas. The embroidery patterns are produced by a system of counting threads, a method that gives the embroidery its striking and exact appearance on both sides of the fabric.”
