Nativity Panel

It's the night before the night before Christmas!  I recently gifted this Nativity scene wall hanging to my brother for Christmas.  I hadn't used a panel like this before, and it turned out to be excellent practice for some free motion quilting.

I drew around the main parts of the scene in black thread, and then used gray to outline the animals.   I drew around the stones with a matching taupe color.

I drew branches in the trees, and also added yellow to the star.  

My brother is so happy with his gift, and I'm happy that I tackled something new!

Merry Christmas!
