Apache Marriage Blessing
Stitched for my Dad and his wife who had this blessing read at their wedding in 2002. A good stitch - took me 3/4 months, mainly because I was only stitching in the evenings. It was a good mix between easy repetitive patterns (the main parts of the left and right borders) and then more interesting detail, although I got very bored trying to backstitch the geese!
The picture isn't great as I'm sending it to them to be stretched and framed.
The blessing is :
Now you will feel no rain for each of you will be shelter for the other.
Now you will feel no cold for each of you will be warmth for the other.
No there is no more loneliness.
Now you are two persons but there is only one life before you.
May your days together be good and long upon the earth.
