The farmer´s prayer

When my father was seven years old he got a hanging from his teacher. She had made the embroideries. This hanging had a place of honour in the bedroom of my parents. Early I learnt the text by heart but didn´t understand it Now I really appreciate the meaning of the verse. Later the hanging was worn and faded. When my father died, my brother got the hanging, but as if by a miracle I found an unsewn one just a few weeks later .Even the tapestry was there. I made it ready, but I sincerely think that the old one is nicer.

Hanging in linen, embroidered with cotton and silk thread. Bought and embroidered in 2002, but the pattern is about 90 years old.
