But I love the sentiment, and in my head, I just substitute 'God' with something else, like 'nature'.Annemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390739951380845343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-21925487035681412722008-11-06T11:23:00.000-05:002008-11-06T11:23:00.000-05:00I definitely stitch outside my ideology for severa...I definitely stitch outside my ideology for several family members.

I don't consider angels Christian (reading above comment). I rarely stitch pagan stuff, which is more in line with my ideology, but I hope to venture out of the closet a bit more often. ;)mainely stitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915498269348257624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-7443022954415837212008-11-05T13:02:00.000-05:002008-11-05T13:02:00.000-05:00I'm atheist, but I've stitched angels.
