When I got home from our Hot Air Balloon ride I decided to put the black sashing on my Nativity scene. I now need some fabric for backing!!! Love Chris

Hi Caroline, yes, there's quite a few hours in the stitching of these squares. Not to mention some unpicking, a few choice words and a couple of broken needles!!!! Love Chris

Beautiful. Will you quilt it?

Hi Suzanna, no, as the whole of the square is completely covered in stitches. Love Chris

Hi Karen, thanks I hope it will complement the area where I made a long banner years ago in the children's section at the rear of the church. Love Chris

Chris, This is such a wonderful set of designs! I really love how they turned out for you. Lots of thread and hours. Great work! Tonya

Thanks Tonya, yes, there are a lot of threads in this one. I'm pleased with most of them. There were a couple where the stitches were wonky and I think it was due to a top thread not being tight enough with the tension. I managed to fix it in the last two squares!!!!! Love Chris

One (or at least me) doesn't realize how the black border makes the blocks pop out. Absolutely love your color choices and the results. Thank you for sharing your progress. Your church will love it.

Wow, Chris, your stained glass blocks are gorgeous! This is the first time I have been able to see photos on posts since October and these were well worth the wait!

Hi Kim. Thanks so much for your kind comments. It’s turned out really well, but in hindsight I wished I’d used black background fabric to stitch the designs onto, as in some places I can see white underneath. It still looks good though!! Love Chris

Oh my! This is so beautiful. I'm so happy that work must have been going on behind the scenes for us to finally see photo's up close. I think you chose well. You may have seen black where you are seeing white. Black just sets off the stain glass effect as well as some other colors. Love it.
