This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Mission San Carlos Borromeo Del Rio Carmelo designed from a painting by Edwin Deakin shows a beautiful historic mission established in California, the second of its kind out of over 20. The mission was named after San Carlos Borromeo who was a saint who re-wrote the catechism, revised the prayer books used by the people in the town, reformed the path to priesthood, and appealed to the Pope to abolish the practice of making political sanctions in the church. After the mission had existed for a while in service, someone came in and vandalized it in attempts to destroy it in the mid-19th century, and later it was restored to its original beauty beginning in 1884. Today it is functioning as a parish church and is known as a place for meditation, reflection and a solitude, and even open for self-guided tours. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
