Gift for a retiring pastor. It is from Embroidery Library. It stitched out like a dream. However, took several hours. If I remember it was about 50,000 stitches. I thought it was beautiful when completed.

Beautiful!!

perfect...soozie

What a lovely gift, I'm sure he will appreciate it. Well done Carolyn. Hugs Yvonne

How beautiful...I have this design, now to get my machine free to sew it out...it will be great for a minister...

Thanks! He has been our pastor for 26 years.

Beautiful job. I'm sure he will love it. I may check out the design for my son's ex-girlfriend. She's an officer in the Coast Guard and I think it would be perfect gift for her.

Thanks and yes it was worth it, especially when I saw the end product.

Looks like tapestry. Very lovely and a beautiful gift for your pastor.

Thanks! It was done on felt.

That is really quite nice. With that high of stitch count, what kind of fabric did you use to get it to lay so flat when finished? You did a beautiful job of framing it as well!!

Thanks. It was stitched on felt with a heavy cut away on the back. I didn't use any stablizer on the top. I left the stablizer on the whole thing and then framed.

Carolyn, it turned out just lovely - I am sure the Pastor will treasure it - I like how you matted and framed it.

This is lovely and looks even better framed. I bought the same design years ago, but haven't sewn it out yet. He will be thrilled with your thoughfulness.
