Someone - I can’t remember who - had stitched and posted one of these patterns last year. I loved it, and immediately downloaded a digital copy of the magazine they were from so that I could stitch them up in time for this year.
The designs are by Emma Congdon, and were featured in the November 2020 issue of Cross Stitcher magazine. I changed them around just a little bit to suit my fancy: classic reds and greens instead of the pinks and chartreuses in the original designs, red beads instead of cross-stitches for the holly berries, and a bit of gold metallic thread for flair.
I stitched them on 14-count white opalescent aida cloth (although the sparkles don’t show very well in these pictures) and framed them in 4" wooden hoops I spray-painted with iridescent glitter paint. I’m really happy with how they came out!
Thanks for looking!
That’s awesome!
