Scripture Cross Stitch Project

Over the past couple of weeks I have been working toward trying to get more Scripture passages up around the house to adorn our walls. Seeing as how I have many such passages, and several of them are very long (Genesis 1:1-2:3, for example), I'm not sure yet how to create the different projects that will allow me to frame large blocks of text and have it look attractive. (Some ideas are bead work, and, much more complicated, handmade paper with hand printed words.)

However, some of the smaller verses can easily be cross stitched and framed. With that in mind, I headed up the creation of the verse patterns and the obtaining of the proper materials, and am outsourcing the actual cross stitching to Kelley Rose.

I realized that it would be very tedious and difficult for me to draw up each of the designs by hand on graph paper, so I ran a couple of quick searches on the internet and found this free program in particular.



Here is a screen capture of the program. Here's the link for the lettering.

Here Kelley Rose is getting ready to start on the project.

Stay tuned!
