Process

I wanted to honor Jesus Christ with my project, because He is very important to me. I wanted to depict something from the Bible that is important, but not too lengthy because cross-stitch is time consuming. I chose to stitch the Fruit of the Holy Spirit, which appear in Galatians 5:22-23. To finish it off, I am going to stitch some fruit on the sides. A challenge I encountered when working on this project was figuring out how to fit all of the words in on the limited space I had. The way this was resolved was counting (and recounting, and recounting...) the height of each word and counting on the material where each of these words could fit. It was a tedious process, but it was well worth it.
