Festive Christmas Cross-stitch Patterns

I have to be the slowest cross-stitcher ever, so I need to start early if I’m going to get a cross-stitch project finished by Christmas (I’ve been working on my current cross-stitch project for more than a year!).

Now I’m debating whether I should have some cross-stitch frames to decorate the walls or stitch some cross-stitch ornaments for the tree. At least I’ll be able to sew lots of different Christmas cross-stitch projects and not have to worry about buying too many skeins of thread. I’m a tradionalist, so tend to stick to the red, green and white colour-way. Of course, you could switch these out for your favourite Christmas colour palette.

Add a personal touch to the festive season with these Christmas cross-stitch patterns. Modern, traditional, funny or geeky, get out your thread and do some Christmas stitching!
