Boondock Saints Pattern Request

Post by SecondHand »

I have a roommate who loves (LOVES) the Boondock Saints. My goal is to make her a BDS cross stitch for Christmas, but the internet has failed me in trying to find one. So I have now turned to you, my Sprite Stitch heroes.
I would really like to see if I could create something that has the BDS prayer and the distinctive BSG cross on it. I have prayer below and a few links that have the sort of thing I'm looking for.
Since Christmas is around the corner, I am looking for something pretty simple. Black background with just white thread. My goal is to have it a standard frame size, so something that would fit decently in a 8x10 or 8x12. I don't really have a preference on the count, whatever works best for the lettering.
Thank you so much for anyone that can help!!


And Shepherds we shall be
For Thee my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands,
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee,
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomine Patri, Et Fili, Et Spiritus Sancti.

This is the picture of how it will look like. I suggest grey for the cross and white for the letters. The problems is that I've never been able to find black aida cloth in anything but 14 count. So you'd have to dye your own cloth. Or you can just use white cloth, use black for the cross and grey for the letters. Either way it will look awesome. The pattern uses black cloth with red stitching but that was just so I could see it easier when making the pattern.

Hope you enjoy!
