FINISHED!  I got the kinks worked out of this one after several attempts... here's the newest addition to my pattern designs...

The next patterns in development are the triple moon and a goddess form.  Every now & then I will post a pattern... but I want to keep this one for now... If you're truly interested in it let me know... :)

 

 

I haven't been able to sleep, so I decided to work on my patterns.  I finished one... :D  YAY!!  I was so happy with myself!!

The picture doesn't do justice, my scanner didn't quite hold it right. 

The idea for this design was to be recognizable by those of our faith who will know what it represents, yet unrecognized by those who would condemn it.  Thus allowing someone still "in the closet" to sucessfully display a beautiful pillow or afghan or doily, etc, that is a sigil of his/her faith.

Please feel free to use this design for personal uses or gifts.  It is an original design by me.  If you publish the pattern for free use on your own website, please remember to mention me as the designer.  If you have any questions or problems with this pattern please let me know!! :)
