This is my embroidery of the stained glass panel of the East Window in our church; I've made it to decorate a book cover for our Curate who is leaving to take up a new parish. The window shows Saints Andrew (left) and Peter (right) with Jesus as the Good Shepherd in the middle. The window is believed to be 13th century (the church is 15th century but the coloured panel is smaller than the window aperture and is surrounded by plain glass, which indicates that it's from an earlier church with smaller windows!) and the colours really are still as vibrant as I've shown them and look amazing when the morning sun shines through them! I had to make it in three separate panels then stitch them together, as to fit them all in my hoop in one go would have made them too small for any detail at all. Love

Nice idea, but as I only have a 4" hoop..... :-) This is only 5" square! I *have* made church banners before now, but in hand-sewn applique (well, I got my Guides to make them, one by each of the 4 patrols!) Love

Think there's a bit of confusion here :-) UK = Ukraine? First time I've come across that, UK is the internationally accepted abbreviation for the United Kingdom, which is England/Scotland/Wales and Northern Ireland! I live in England, in Yorkshire to be precise :-)
I spent time in Harrogate when my husband was on assignment there. Loved that area, and the yorkshire area! Would love to make it back there.
Nice town - VERY nice town, and house prices reflect that! You lucky girl! :-) Harrogate is probably the most exclusive place in Yorkshire! Love from Dianne x x x

I drew the original design froma photo of the window and scanned it into PSP then made it into colour blocks before saving it as a bitmap, which I then imported into Janome Customiser 2000 Easy Import to digitise it.
Thank you for taking time to answer and explain.wish i could give you another flower.Have a great weekend
