Scarf Design: Land of Utopia by Anna Pitjara
Dreamtime:
Utopia region of Australia is the home to many Aboriginals covering over 3500 sq.km with the Sandover River in the vicinity. A few of them now live in the metro area of Alice Springs and others in the camping sites out in the bush. They prefer living close to the bush, taking care of their land (country). The two main languages spoken in this area are Alyawarr and Anmatyerre.
The name Utopia (Uturupa), means ‘Big Sand Hill’, a region in the northwest of Central Australia. It is an amalgamation of several large and small communities. There are only a few schools, grocery supply stores, hospitals etc. in the remote areas of Utopia. Alice Springs, the nearest town is the best place for one-stop shopping. Highways, including unsigned roads, mud roads to local communities are a rich source of red-dirt as seen in the central deserts of Australia. Often this bigger picture is referred to Sandhills by the Aboriginal artists.
Anna Pitjara comes from Utopia region of Central Australia. She belongs to the Petyarre / Pitjara family and speaks Anmatyerre language. Her dreaming’s mainly involve Body Painting, Bush Yam, Yam Seeds, Sandhill etc.

Very fast shipping! No fault of the shop but I expected a printed pattern, not one that I have to draw out myself. I guess I’m a lazy person and just wanted to start cutting and sewing as soon as it came. This project will sit for awhile.
Judy Pugh –
Great fabric. Fast shipping exactly as described. Didn’t work for this project but will for next one. Five stars for quality and for the store and quality of fabric
Elizabeth Wallis –
The material was better than expected. The colors are very bright and the details are amazing! It even arrived earlier than predicted. Definitely a great purchase!
Alicia Justus –
Fabric was of very good quality – print was excellent – I was a little surprised at the smaller size of the panel – a bit hard to reconcile actual numbers to reality – but all in all happy with the panel.
Barbara Beck –
I got the item in a timely matter which I absolutely love but the colors weren’t as vibrant as they were in the picture. All in all, I do love the panel so thank you.
Wendy E Hough –
Benartex material is high quality fabric and this is no exception. This design is more beautiful that any computer screen can convey. It is hard to find and I am glad I was able to locate this!
