I am looking for ideas to use for a loved ones headstone. Cross stitching was her one and only passion in life. I need to do this quickly to get the stone completed by Memorial Day and appreciate any ideas. Thanks

    Two patterns come to mind:

    1. Ellen Maurer-Stroch "I'm Stitching Do Not Disturb"

    2. Lorraine Birmingham Stitcher's Prayer
    I pray that risen from the dead,
    I may in glory stand.
    A crown perhaps upon my heard,
    but a needle in my hand.

    I've never learned to sing or play,
    so let no harp be mine - - -
    From birth until my dying day
    plain sewing's been my line.

    Therefore, accustomed to the end
    to plying useful stitches,
    I'll be content if asked to mend
    the little angels' britches.

    Barrick Samplers has a great one. They brought it out when they were known as Carriage House.About a needle in the stitcher's hand. Lovely design. I believe they also have a number of designs that might be suitable. Go to top
