The Temples Which Can Be Stitched From the Charts
in The New Small Temples Book
At the time of the publication of this book, 121 temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had been dedicated, were under construction, or had been announced. The first three “Small Temples” announced in 1997 by President Gordon B. Hinckley (Monticello Utah, Anchorage Alaska and Colonia Juarez México), are charted separately in this book. Between 1999-2005, 40 temples throughout the world were built using the same basic exterior design. Those temples include:

We have charted four variations of this exterior design in this book. The stitcher should choose one of those variations and personalize it to match the stone colors, landscaping details, and the proper direction for the Angel Moroni of the particular temple being stitched. Please see pages 22-23 for instructions for pattern variations.
Three more temples, Caracas Venezuela, Fukuoka Japan, and Kona Hawaii, were built to the same basic exterior designs but have different entrances because they are on hillside sites. They can be stitched to these patterns if the stitcher has the ability to add the entrance details.
