About this pattern

A bookmark in two panes inside a plain dark violet frame. In the upper pane a gold chalice stands on the bar that divides the frame, with a round white host marked with a violet cross standing in the cup; the chalice has a paler gold rim, a knop on its stem and a wide foot. In the lower pane a bunch of six purple grapes hangs by a green stalk from the same bar, with a green leaf on each side and one white glint on each grape. Dark brown outline round the chalice, the host, the leaves and the grapes. It suits a First Communion keepsake. Full crosses only.

29 stitches wide by 65 high: 853 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Very Dark Violet 550, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Topaz 783 and 5 more).
