INTRODUCTION
Hark! The holy family has made an appearance at Anita
Goodesign. Instead of placing the nativity scene on a mantle
or window sill, this year you can recreate the miraculous
birth on your Christmas tree. This Needlepoint Nativity is the
perfect way to update your Christmas decorations, but still
have a hand-stitched, antique look, with no hand embroidery
required. The eight included designs feature baby Jesus,
Joseph and Mary, the three kings, and an angel and donkey.
A collection this beautiful will make your friends and family
want a nativity set of their own!
To make these designs stand out, we
used the needlepoint technique
that creates a hand crafted and
heirloom look.
We made the magi more regal by using
metallic threads to emphasize their
royal gifts and crowns.
To finish the project off, each ornament is
stuffed with polyfil and then hand-sewn
shut to finish it off!
