Upper Torso of St. Joseph (Detail; VVP 09) Patch
In this detail of a 19th-century Belgian devotional print, a mature, gray-haired St. Joseph stands in front of a red wall hanging with golden yellow trim. The tapestry is patterned with equal-armed crosses enclosed in rotated squares. How it is hung defies logical explanation because the background consists of an infinitely deep aqua-blue sky bespattered with stars. + St. Joseph is richly garbed in strong colors. His robe is red; his mantle, green with a dark aqua lining and golden yellow borders. He holds a spray of white lilies symbolizing purity in his right hand and an L-shaped brown wooden carpenter’s rule indicative of his profession in his left. Beneath St. Joseph’s sandaled feet in the full-length image that appears, for example, on our greeting cards and posters in this COLLECTION are additional attributes--a small dragon, a crown, a scroll, and a globe inscribed with the names of the populated continents—that speak to his role as protector of The Church. + This chromo- or color lithograph was originally published to promulgate Pope Leo XIII’s “Prayer to St. Joseph” of 1889. + Principal Feast of St. Joseph: March 19; Feast of St. Joseph the Worker: May 1 + Image Credit (VVP 09): Detail of an antique chromolithograph of Saint Joseph, Protector of the Church, Pray For Us [H. Jozef, beschermer der H. Kerk, B.V.O.] originally published by K[arel] v[an] d[er] Vyvere-Petyt, Bruges, Belgium, c. 1890, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.

Heart 2" Heart, Red Stitching, Iron-On
I bought my boyfriend a pair of jorts to celebrate his graduation, to which I ironed on this high-quality, beautiful patch! I used my premium subscription with the BeautyPlus App to change one of our graduation photos into a cartoon depiction, which I was then easily able to transfer into Zazzle's custom sizer. I used a straightening iron to easily apply the heart-shaped patch to the inside of the waistband. It stuck like a charm! Now every time my boyfriend puts on his jeans, he can think of us! The patch arrived within a few business days with no issue. I'm super happy with my purchase!

Circle 2.5" Circle, White Stitching, Iron-On
Very happy. The patch is sublimated, not embroidered so this works better with simpler designs and/or larger patches. These turned out fantastic with smaller names on a 4 inch patch. The edges are embroidered, no loose threads. The colors are nice. Shipping was faster than predicted, about 10 days, for 11 unique custom patches. (His full name was centered, I tried to edit out his last name so it looks wonky on here, but was perfect.).

Heart 2" Heart, Red Stitching, Iron-On
I customized this heart-shaped patch to iron on a pair of jeans I had bought my boyfriend, and it turned out to be such a sentimental relationship gift! The patch arrived within a few business days, and it proves durable through washes. I was most impressed by the high quality of the customized piece, as I sized my photo smaller to capture the background details of the venue the photo was taken at. I can even see my boyfriend's glasses! It was easy to transfer and manipulate my photo within Zazzle's photo sizer. I'm not one to take the time to write reviews, but I'm just super happy with my purchase! I attached a photo of the patch next to nail polish and a mini Coke can for size reference. .
