I had a lady help me draw up this light house (notice how I put the yellow lines of thread to make it look like the light is shining), as Jesus is MY Light house that saved me from the rock of sin, just in time. I was a baby in Christ (new Christian) then and one of the first songs I heard was "The Light house" be Debbie ?????? It touched me so much I had to have a light house on my jacket. I used leather glue to glue all the pieces in place then stitched over them. The brown leather is lamb and the blue I think was cow....both scraps from the sewing factory I worked at at that time. They let me use their commercial heavy duty sewing machines after work and their threads at no cost. I also was able to order the horse hides from them when they put in a big order to get a discount.
