The Nativity Story
Table Topper

This Nativity Story has Bethlehem incorporated on all four sides and the Star of Bethlehem as the center focus. On one side Joseph is taking Mary to Bethlehem. The second side the Shepherds are pointing in amazement to the Star of Bethlehem. On the third side is the Manger Scene with the Shepherds in Bethlehem. Finally the last scene has the Three Wise Men traveling to Bethlehem to see the Christ Child. The Bible verse Luke 2:14 is enclosed around the piece.

The original design was stitched on Zweigart 36ct Edinburg Cream using two strands of DMC mouline over two threads. The finished design is approximately 22"w x 22"h. If you decide to stitch it as a table topper, be sure to add at lease 5" per side for the finished edge, instructions included with the pattern. This pattern would look great stitched over one hanging on the wall in the shape of a diamond.

This piece recieved a Red Ribbon at the 46th Annual National Needlework Exhibition at the Woodlawn Plantation in Alexandria, Virginia in 2009.
