Description: A utopian scene of a large lion and a lamb reclining in the shade of an apple tree. A small child in shepherd's robes kneels in the grass beside them; the rest of the orchard fades into the distance. The scene is surrounded by an intricate border of apples and leaves on a dark blue background. Background Information: This design has biblical roots: Isaiah 11:6. There have been many artistic interpretations of this subject-and no wonder! In the middle of what are very rushed, stressful, and sometimes dangerous times, a message such as this one can be comforting indeed. This design is a loose adaption of a commissioned pen and ink drawing I did many years ago. I purposely chose muted colors for this design to enhance the feeling of peace and tranquility.
Stitching Comments: If you can stick with it long enough to finish the border of this piece, the rest will be a breeze. Other than lots of floss colors, and some fractional stitches, this design really is not difficult. It is, however, fairly large, and will require some dedication and patience to finish..
