Sunrise always brings to mind the prospect of a new day, new beginnings. Particularly on Easter morning, it reminds us that Christ is risen and of the special meaning of beginnings He brings with Him.
I have two versions of this design so far. One uses a white background, the other black. I'm not sure which I prefer, but of course, you could stitch it either way just by changing the floss color.

The black background might serve to emphasize the triumph of good over evil. The white background centers thought on the purity and goodness of Jesus. I can imagine differing interpretations for each. What do you think?

Originally, I thought of stitching on black Aida cloth, but I realized that it would darken the bright colors. It should be stitched on white, whichever choice you make for floss.

So often situations arise that make progress slower than expected. But life takes priority and people, especially children, need attention in the moment.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." --Matthew 19:14 (New International Version)
Thanks to the timeless message on this cross stitch, it is just as powerfull any day of the year. Therefore, I am thrilled to show you "He is risen." The design is complete, if you prefer to leave the background white. Now, I'm anxious to see how it looks when the letters are surrounded in black stitches. You can choose the one you prefer.
The good news . . . you'll have plenty of time to stitch it in time for Easter 2010. The Best News of all . . . He is risen!
Keep on Stitching,

A classic looking alphabet should be included in every collection. This one features straight letters that are an inch tall on 14-count fabric. It is easily readable, and the clean design won't detract from any decorative cross stitching surrounding it.
