This is a new canvas from Needledeeva (http://www.needledeeva.com) which is part of a stitch guide I’ve written. The canvases are being stitched as models for next month’s TNNA market.
They aren’t quite done (hair and borders still left to do), but I think she is so adorable. I love all the great effects in Mary’s dress and Jesus’ blanket. The halos just glow and the Nordic Gold use for accents in the background makes it look like a piercingly cold Winter night.
Appropriately enough I started stitching her on the way to Mass on Christmas morning.
In this series, there are angels, the three kings, Joseph and a sheep. There is also a great stable background. We’re planning more figures for next year, so this can be a collectible Christmas series.
I love nativities (I have about 30 of them from all over the world), but I have always resisted needlepoint nativities. This is the first one I’m stitching. I love the tiny size and delicate look of the figures.
So from me to you, on this feast of St. John the Divine, Merry Christmas!
