Nativity Set (Rebecca Wood and Diana Bosworth) UPDATED

This lovely Bethlehem canvas with Nativity set ornaments was created by Rebecca Wood and stitched by Pat using Diana Bosworth's stitch guide.

You can pick up Diana's guide and the canvases if you don't have them already from The French Knot in Forth Worth.  Note that the shop website says the guides were by Paula Fehleisen.  I'm not sure which information is correct.

UPDATE:  Here is a piece from Victoria's set, also done using Diana's stitch guide.
