Free Patterns.com is a free membership site with a ton of great patterns for all sorts of crafts. Their Christmas collection for cross stitch is wide-ranging, but I wanted in particular to point out the Blessed Creche pattern.
Designed by Barbara Sestok, it includes Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the three Wise Men, the Angel of the Lord, a camel and a sheep.
The design is shown with each figure worked separately on its own little pillow that can be stood up and rearranged in a nativity scene, but you could also work them all together to make a wall hanging or a pillow if you wanted.
Do you have a hand-crafted nativity scene of any sort? I’d love to hear about it.
