If you’ve been looking for a new cross-stitch or similar artwork idea, check these out. The fogbound site recently posted<\/a> this set of images taken at the Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvi\u00e8re in Lyon, France. They’re mosaics representing the seven deadly sins, plus an additional reptilian critter with the legend Vade Retro Satana<\/i> (“Get thee behind me, Satan”).<\/p>\n

There’s a set of photos of the same mosaics (minus the Satan one) on Wikimedia Commons<\/a>; the resolution is a little higher on those, but the colors seem a bit washed out.<\/p>\n

These would be splendid patterns for cross-stitch, beading, or (if you’re particularly ambitious) quilting. There are several online converters which will translate photographs into patterns: MyPhotoStitch<\/a>, Pic 2 Pat<\/a>, PictureCraftwork<\/a>, and Stitchboard<\/a> will all allow you to upload a photo for conversion, either for free or (if the stitch count is above a certain size) for a small fee. You can google “cross stitch pattern converter” for others.<\/p>\n
