I just downloaded today's free dove, and stitched this out quickly to show everybody. When I saw the design, a quilting project came immediately to mind because of the simple stitches. This is a scan of the design on muslin, the colors are not quite right. The dove is a lovely light butternut color, the rest of the swirl a very pale yellow/green, kind of lima bean green. I didn't sew out the olive branch, because I wanted to keep the lightness of the design. I'm also thinking of doing this in ivory thread for a candlewicking effect, but didn't think it would show up well in a photo. The dove will also go on Christmas hopsacking towels in it's original form, with the olive branch, and with the words "Peace, Love and Light" beneath it. Happy sewing, Marji
