SSD-C117 - Asleep in a Manger

9” w by 9” h - 126 stitches w by 126 stitches h

This cross-stitch design shows the Baby Jesus asleep
in the manger.  The Gentle Art Simply Wool enhances
the stitched effect of all the linens / clothing - His
‘swaddling clothes’.  DMC Linen floss fibers give the
hay a more natural look.  Directional stitching, guided
by the 6 page directional stitching guide,allows the
fabrics to be shown as they were woven long ago.  
The use of the various types of floss create a unique
design.  Metallic enhanced fabric was used to simulate
the glow produced by the halo and surrounding the
Holy Child.  Whole stitches are used throughout.

McDowell, who in 2008, passed into the glorious
realm of heaven.
