Heirloom Nativity Sampler

“Sweet angels sing on Christmas night
Come shepherds see the wondrous sight.
Come wise men see the star above,
A Babe is born to bring us Love.”

This elegant snowy Heirloom Sampler was inspired by many warm Christmas memories.  This Nativity scene of peace and love was the centerpiece of our house, and it added such deep meaning to the scent of pine and candles, cookies baking, and the tinkle of bells and carol singing. Christmas is the most magical hopeful time of the year. I hope that this sampler will bring that peace and beauty to you as you stitch this sampler with all its rich emotional imagery of the story of the First Christmas!
