This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Moses and Jochebed designed from a painting by Pedro Americo shows Jochebed carrying Baby Moses whom she wrapped in a blanket, placed him in a basket made of reeds and sent him down the Nile river to protect him from Pharaoh. Jochebed was a God-fearing righteous woman with whom the Lord was pleased. Her name alone means "God's Glory." In this scene we see Jochebed as a beautiful woman with with long dark flowing hair that she has tied back in a scarf. She is holding Moses in the basket tucked under her arm and is looking for the right spot to place him in the reeds in the Nile River. She has a pensive look on her face because she wants to make sure her baby boy will be safe. 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.
