Virgin and Child in Majesty
This quietly powerful design draws on the tradition of medieval devotional icons, depicting a seated Madonna and Child rendered in warm earthy tones with a dignified, formal grace. The simplified, almost sculpted quality of the figures gives the finished piece a genuinely antique character that stands apart from more modern religious imagery.
It would suit anyone with an appreciation for sacred art, history, or the enduring beauty of Christian iconography. Stitched and framed, it makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift, or a cherished addition to a home where faith and craftsmanship are equally valued.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Gamma, Luca-S and Sullivans. Pick your brand when you start the project.
