I'd stitched this picture of a local church with no particular plan as to what I'd do with it. The Church Fete is next week and raffle prizes are needed, so I turned it into a cushion by applying it to a plain background with a rope edged frame.
The church is unusual in that it has a chimney stack, hence the unusual angle for the photograph. The design is Sfumato and looks better from a distance than close up.

That sounds like a nice thing to do with it. Smart idea. Keep up the good work. The church looks to be really old, is it? Keep up all your good work. I miss my machine :( it's in the shop again.......maybe they will get it fixed completely this time.

The Church dates back to the 11th Century. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
Hum... how interesting. Thanks for the info.

This is a wonderful way to use the design. It looks perfect and I am sure will do well at the raffle.

As ever great work Sue. Took me a while to work out why I didn't comment when you posted then realised it was as we moved

What a fabulous idea to preserve a photo of this church and make a pillow out of it. I'm sure that people who have lived in the area a long time will appreciate your efforts. Lovely stitchout!
