That's so neat Jeanne! I found a website you can order this image from in various sizes:

And a funny web page that has a whole list of the lesser saints of quilting (tongue in cheek for laughs):

Nice to know - the hospital I work at is called St. Rose DeLima & I have made a few quilting friends there that I'll have to share this with!

Jingle, I don't think it makes a bit of difference if you are Catholic or not....Saints are there to help intercede, no matter what the church affiliation! Have an awesome day!

A stitching and gardening saint! How good is that. I don't think you get to be a saint unless you have a terribly difficult life....St Rose was fortunate in the fact persecution and a horrible death wasn't part of her existence. This has been such a good thread....got us all checking her bio, so as usual a visit to the QB got the grey matter working
