The Beatitudes
An inspiration for so many, and endless possibilities with a needle and thread - this is my interpretation.
I've stitched all of the verses onto a single piece of silk gauze - but wouldn't this be wonderful on a lovely piece of fabric? Lots and lots of options.
In addition, charts are provided for the individual verses if you want to select just some of your favorites - create bowl fillers, pin cushions or other smalls. I've compiled all of these into a book of the verses - general guidelines for finishing in the book format are included.
The Beatitudes is published in three parts. You will need all three parts to complete the entire piece.
