Information about the counted cross-stitch pattern book The Utah Temples
The Utah Temples is one of a popular series of counted cross-stitch books created by Jean D. Crowther, the foremost designer of LDS-oriented counted cross-stitch temple patterns. These books contain uniquely elegant designs of the 11 temples erected by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the state of Utah between 1877 and 1998. Newly-married couples enjoy having a cross-stitched design of the temple in which they were married, especially when it includes the name of the temple, their names, and the date of their eternal marriage sealing. Their relatives and friends enjoy stitching them as a demonstration of their love and friendship to the couples. This book contains the instructions and stitching patterns for 11 temples: St. George Utah, Logan Utah, Manti Utah, Salt Lake, Salt Lake from the East Towers, the original Ogden Utah, Provo Utah, Jordan River Utah, Bountiful Utah, Mount Timpanogos Utah, Vernal Utah and Monticello Utah. The Utah Temples also includes two different alphabets for personalization, five appropriate border patterns, and a Chronological List of the 122 Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints dedicated or announced by 2005. The pattern designer, Jean D. Crowther, has created designs for more than 130 of the Latter-day Saint temples, plus numerous other New Testament-based picture designs such as “The Last Supper” and “Jesus and the Children.”
