I made this Advent calendar for our church school's silent auction in Oct. - all the figures are from Emb Library - I didn't have a big enough hoop (it needed 6 x 10) for the manger so I made it out of felt and stitched it on) - I didn't care for the numbers that came with it so I put out a call for help and Michele921 came through with great numbers from Cindys Embroidery Designs (they were even free). All the manger pieces are backed with the looped side of velcro - they stick right to the felt. I also added a little storage bag for the pieces. All I still need to do is purchase a dowel or some kind of rod for putting through the top. Hope the picture comes through OK.

Oh, my, I do hope this brings in a good bit of cash, because it must have taken ages to accomplish! What a lot of work, turned out great!! Hugs, Marji

Thank You! Only someone who does embroidery would realize how long it takes! Hopefully the right person will come along -

It's wonderful! My mother made one many years ago from a stencil of the nativity. She STILL uses it! We have had to re cut the stencils a few times, though.

That's what makes Christmas so special - bringing out the decorations from years past! Thanks!
