Celtic embroidery

First, the Celtic knot cross shown in blue with the gold sun behind and light green shamrocks beneath:

This cross is done in a Celtic knot style.  It is done by machine and is suitable for the front of the skirt. 
A slightly smaller one is available in the exact style for the back of a bonnet, or on the bodice of the gown.
It was digitized by Linda Rearick.  I found it on Ann the Gran's website!

It fits perfectly on the bodice without the shamrocks, too.

PLEASE NOTE:

I do not embroider for a living.  Please don't send me your wedding gown, baby clothes or hats for embroidery.  There are many professionals that do that.  (Here's one:  http://www.sewusay.com ) 
 They would love to help you.  I construct christening gowns, and I embroider them because it's fun and my little machine can do it.  Please don't ask me to embroider anything else for you.  :)   Please.  This really wears out a sewing machine!
