My FIRST ever item posted on ArtFire. What fun!
This is a stylized version of the Nativity, completed as a paper-pieced quilted wall-hanging. Perfect for smaller spaces, it's only 15 inches wide x 14.5 inches tall. The smallest pieces in the quilt are less than 1/4 inch.
Machine-pieced and machine-quilted, using 100% cotton fabric, using cotton and poly-cotton thread.
The background fabric is dark black marbled with a bit of purple, and meander quilted (free motion) with stars as details above the stable. Hand-dyed muslin (with tea) creates a nice skin tone for the Nativity family members. Includes metallic gold thread quilted embellishments around the star and the manger, and variegated and black bobbin thread (on the back).
I include my initials and the date completed on all my projects, usually on the lower right corner of the back (and usually quite small).
The wall-hanging is complete with a hanging sleeve, sash rod in the sleeve, and hanging hardware (2 hooks with 4 nails). Also included are care and handling instructions.
I don't have a professional photography studio, but have tried to take some good representative photos.

On the pattern back it has this info, but I don't believe the website is still in existence. This is the only info I have.
