Cross Stitch Now I Lay Me
This design was inspired by my dear friend Pauline who wanted to stitch this classic children's prayer for her precious grandchildren. Unable to find a cross stitch design with the wording she remembered from her youth, Pauline contacted me for help. I knew right away that the perfect border would be from a recently released design, "Praise the LORD!". I also found a lettering style that hints at a child's writing, featuring touches of french knots as a ideal compliment to the prayer.
I think that this may be a nice addition to a child's bedroom wall or made into a pillow.
