Nativity Ornament

There are not enough pleats in an ornament strip to stitch all of the figures from this smocking plate. Stitch the manger and star at the center of the insert. You will have space for a sheep, Joseph, the manger with Baby Jesus, Mary and another sheep. Add an additional row of gray cables below the lowest cable row to make the design a full 7 rows.
