About this pattern

An emblem for the end of a clergy stole. A plain gold Latin cross stands in the middle, lit along its left edges and shaded on the right. An ear of bearded wheat rises at each side of the shaft on a thin stalk, and a red band across the foot of the cross binds the two stalks to it. Below the band a bunch of purple grapes hangs to a point between two green vine leaves. The outline of the whole emblem mirrors left to right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 36 by 64 stitches and uses ten thread colors.

36 stitches wide by 64 high: 1,394 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Medium Topaz 783, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Topaz 782 and 7 more).
