Great Little Bevel!, September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
Great size - perfect for small projects and for teaching my students about using bevels.		 Cons
None		 Other Thoughts
These crosses are ideal for small panels, and they are easily incorporated into larger patterns.
mrglassart comment on Mother & Child

Angela,

Thanks for your comment. This is one of my favorite designs. The nurses who asked me to design it saw in the panel the representation of the mother and baby who died in the accident at the sunset of their lives. The visitors to the ward see it as a mother and baby at sunrise, symbolizing all that is yet to come for them.
