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.
