Cross Stitch Lion and Lamb with Holly

About this design

This gentle cross stitch embroidery design depicts the lion lying down with the lamb, a timeless symbol of peace. The lion is stitched in warm honey gold and amber with a full russet brown mane, a calm face and a tufted tail curled at his side, while the small lamb nestles against him in soft white and silver grey with a dark stitched face and delicate fleece texture. Sprigs of green and silver holly with tiny red berries frame the pair at either side, all worked in classic counted cross stitch style with crisp X-shaped stitches on a clean cream background. The warm, muted palette gives this scene a quiet heirloom beauty. Stitch it onto Christmas stockings, tree skirts, advent calendars, hoop wall art, wall banners and holiday table runners, or add it to pillows, quilt blocks, tote bags, tea towels, Bible covers, greeting card inserts and bookmarks. This meaningful religious motif makes a heartfelt gift for Christmas and Advent, christenings and baptisms, first communions and confirmations, weddings and anniversaries, memorial keepsakes, Sunday school projects and church bazaars. Compatible with popular embroidery machine formats including DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS, XXX, PEC, and more.
