Twelve Trees for Christmas is also still available, if you’re looking for Christmas stitching ideas with full instructions and patterns.ĭon’t forget that A Stitcher’s Christmas started on Monday, with this gorgeous book give-away. I’ll share that with you as I get closer to being finished!

The e-book for A Thousand Flowers is still available here, if you’re wanting to join in on stitching any of those! I started stitching a new version (the deer) yesterday, with plans for a really fun finishing technique. I’ll keep you abreast of that and share the pattern alternative, in case anyone else wants to stitch it, too! I’ll be stitching up a new version of it, starting this afternoon if all goes as planned. I’ve been dabbling with the Boughs of Holly corner design in the list above. Large Snowflake – Cross stitch or other counted work, this one would look great with beads!ĭelicate Snowflake – for surface embroidery, with several variationsīold Snowflake – a less delicate snowflake for surface embroideryīlackwork Trees – three blackwork trees, great for a counted borderĪ Christmas Tree for Tambour Embroidery – great for tambour work, but can be stitched with any line stitch. Snowflake Corner – Cross stitch folk-style snowflakes in a corner design Leaping Deer & Christmas Tree – a counted cross stitch pattern in a traditional folky styleĪ Simple Snowflake – Cross stitch snowflake, folk style Stitched from Stash Christmas Ornament – a step-by-step series, including finishing instructions.

Holly & Joy – A Christmas message with embroidered lettersĪ Tiny Tree with a Bird – just add a pear, and it can pass for a partridge in a pear tree! It’s a spin off of a Quaker motif.

Some of them might take a little longer, but all of them are doable well before Christmas arrives!Ī Christmas Palm Tree – for those of you in southerly climes!īoughs of Holly – a holly corner suitable for tablecloths, flour sack towels, cloth napkins, and so forth I always underestimate the time it will take to complete an embroidery project, but in fact, most of these projects I’m going to list here can be completed in a good bout of weekend binge-stitching. Since we’ve kicked off A Stitcher’s Christmas, and since it’s not quite December yet (so there’s still time!), I figure today is a good day for a round-up of free Christmas embroidery designs here on Needle ‘n Thread, for those who want to do a little holiday stitching!
