Gift from God birth sampler - finished 16/01/12

Post by Emma1977 »

My DH's cousin and wife are due their first baby in mid-November so I wanted to do a birth sampler as a present for them. As they are regular church-goers I wanted so something that reflected their faith and I think this is perfect. I'm doing it on 28ct evenweave as there are a lot of half stitches. It's taking me slightly longer as its my first project on evenweave.

Here is what it looks like when completed (sorry for the poor quality lighting):

Here is my progress so far showing Mr & Mrs Noah :D
