I'd stitched this picture of a local church with no particular plan as to what I'd do with it. The Church Fete is next week and raffle prizes are needed, so I turned it into a cushion by applying it to a plain background with a rope edged frame.

What a fabulous idea to preserve a photo of this church and make a pillow out of it. I'm sure that people who have lived in the area a long time will appreciate your efforts. Lovely stitchout!

As ever great work Sue. Took me a while to work out why I didn't comment when you posted then realised it was as we moved

Beautiful!

Stunning design and work done...Well done

lovely idea and great raffle prize

I'd buy it!

This is beautiful. Hope the raffle is a huge success. Love the treatment you have given this.

A wonderful & beautiful one of a kind item. Perfect for raffle.

Sue, this is beautiful.......incredible work!!

What a wonderful raffle item! People are sure to want this. It is so realistic and the pillow frames it nicely!

Perfect for the raffle - a treasure for sure.

What a great raffle price for the church...

Wow! Beautiful!

Beautiful. It will be a much wanted cushion

Its is beautiful. The church will love it.

This is a wonderful way to use the design. It looks perfect and I am sure will do well at the raffle.

That sounds like a nice thing to do with it. Smart idea. Keep up the good work. The church looks to be really old, is it? Keep up all your good work. I miss my machine :( it's in the shop again.......maybe they will get it fixed completely this time.

The Church dates back to the 11th Century. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
