Done at last! I thought this would be a quick stitch but with kids, work, volunteering at school, physical therapy and exercise, it just didn’t happen. I finally finished this today. It needs to be washed and ironed, and then I am going to check out Hobby Lobby for a frame and mats, and will do the actual framing myself.
I did change the word “saviour” to “savior”, to be more American.

Now for my next project… I think I need to get my little hedgehog pincushion put together. And that deer in the woods is not getting finished just sitting in a drawer. That might need to be a summer project, though, as the counting and similar colors are horrible. I desperately want to start on John Clayton’s pyramids. And it should be an easier project, with huge blocks of one color and extremely small amounts of backstitch. Time to look through my stash again and see what other treasures I have set aside that I forgot about!

Carrie,
Thanks for posting your finished piece “His Name is Jesus”. It is beautiful! Could I post this on my website too? Do you know what colors you used for the floss?

Hi Sandra,
I plan on framing it this weekend and then I will get you a good picture for your website š
I used DMC 154, 3041, and 3042 for the colors. They look so much better in person than in the photo.
Thanks for making this available!

I would love to stitch this chart as a gift.

I attempted to obtain this pattern as directed from the web site & was unable to do so. Would love to do this for my mom’s 84th birthday in mid-november. I don’t mind paying for the pattern but only find references to obtaining it for free. Please advise if you know of another way to obtain the same. Thanking you for time.
