Millenium

I love this piece, it was very difficult to work up but well worth it.  This is a Teresa Wentzler pattern.  What I like about it is the detail on the planets and the angels.  It's called a pettipoint stitch.  I did this piece in 2001 I believe.  On the back of the pattern, Teresa gives this description of the design.

" This unique design features an arched portal guarded by two golden-robed male angels, each bearing a torch. The angel on the left bears a sword; the one on the right, an hourglass. Through the doorway is a view of the earth and moon as seen from space, surrounded by the planets of our solar system; they are set against a midnight blue star-studded background. A scene of Everest at sunrise anchors the view. A Biblical quote from II Peter, 3:8 finishes the design: ...With the Lord, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day."
