This vibrant design depicts a nativity scene detail from the 1650 Altar Frontal. The three kings are shown in early 17th Century court dress and Mary and Joseph are in the more modest clothing of the time.
Enjoy the simplicity of stitching in one colour and play with a range of historic crewel work techniques featured on the original emb

Nativity kit
This is an absolutely gorgeous kit and when completed will be a beautiful heirloom. The red is an exquisite colour and compliments the design and theme very well. Everything about this kit is quality. I haven’t started it yet but it looks pretty straightforward and interesting to do.
Lovely packaging and the kit is presented beautifully in the box.
Thank you.

Three Kings' treat
Loving it, although the stitches are so tiny I can only do a little bit at a time before moving onto something bigger. I didn't think I enjoyed crewel work - but this one is such a different project. I want to do the rest of the altar cloth this is taken from please?

Great quality kit
Sadly not started it yet, too many other things going on to finish first.
