Is this a pattern? Is so, where would I be able to get it? My mother died of melanoma on May 5th. Our last trip as a family was to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico where we prayed together at the Lady of Guadalupe church. I would love to make this project in her rememberance.

No, there is no pattern. I'm very sorry for your loss. I blew up an image as a basic guideline and went from there.

Beautiful! I enjoy doing religious art as well. Much of mine is multi media using old medals on cloth with embroidery. Mary is my favorite. Great work thanks for sharing.

oh good lord, I wanted to be in the sisters of saint josephs, my mother was that upset, she got the priest to come and speakk to me, but he was going to try and get her to give it a try, well, on his way over he had a motor bike accident and was killed, my mother said "see God does not want you" she was not a very nice mother. sadly

What a sad story. When I mentioned the idea of become a nun my mother became hysterical and made my father make me promise never to mention it again.

If I have it's probably because of all the habits I've made for the Little Sisters of the Poor.
