Christy Barron by Erica Michaels

Aren't these happy colors? I'm thinking Christy Barron must have had a cheerful outlook on life. I also find her stitching of the words to be quirky and fun. Birds, fruit baskets, flower post, peacocks, and a simple and interesting border complete the look.

The verse is taken from a hymn by Joseph Addison in 1712, entitled The Good Shepherd. It says: "The Lord my pasture shall prepare and feed me with a shepherds care. His presence shall my wants supply and guard me with a watchful eye. My noon day walks He shall attend and all my midnight hours defend.
