Saint Monica was a custom order. I looked for images to draft a pattern and really like the one above, so I used it as my model. I tried to replicate it as best as possible. The quote in the book on St. Monica's lap is from her, it reads "Nothing is far from God" and it is hand embroidered.
St. Monica is the patroness of Mothers, married women, and abuse victims, something she had experience with on all 3 points.
Prayer to Saint Monica
Exemplary Mother of the great Augustine, you perseveringly pursued your wayward son not with wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven. Intercede for all mothers in our day so that they may learn to draw their children to God. Teach them how to remain close to their children, even the prodigal sons and daughters who have sadly gone astray. Amen.
All the information on St. Monica came from: Saints.sqpn
St. Monica is made with 100% wool felt and is entirely hand sewn.
