This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Creche designed from a painting by Gemalde von Albert Anker shows a caretaker attempting to feed one of the children who cannot feed herself yet. The others are sitting at a large table and are eating on their own. The caretaker is providing tender loving care to the little ones whose parents are away at work. These are long days for the parents, but surely they are happy they can leave their children with someone they can trust. The importance of knowing right from wrong is taught as one child can be seen in the background who perhaps is being scolded by making her sit off to herself until the insolent behavior improves. The children are well cared for. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
