CHART PACK:
Christmas nativity frame
CROSS STITCH PATTERN DESIGNED BY Faby reilly Designs
Here's the Christmas nativity frame, Faby Reilly Designs's beautiful interpretation in cross stitch of the holy nativity scene, with Mary and Joseph kindly caring of just-born baby Jesus, while the ox, donkey and sheep surround them in the manger. Like a miniature in a old manuscript, the motif is surrounded by messages of Peace, Love, Joy and Hope for Christmas, all in beautiful golden calligraphy.
A number of specialty stitches adorn the piece, including:
Ribbed Spider Web stitch
Diamond Eyelet stitch variation
Diamond Eyelet stitch with sequin
Diamond Eyelet stitch
Triple Cross-stitch
Couching stitch
As for any of Faby Reilly projects, extensive instructions and photos come with the chart taking you through each step of these stitches.
The same nativity motif is also available as a Christmas ornament.
