Holiday Cross Stitch Trio

Fiber & Textile Completed Projects

I made this stitched trio of ornaments as gifts for my mom, grandma, and aunt. Luckily they don’t mind giving me a few extra days to get things done because I just put the finishing touches on these tonight!

Inspired by the impeccable stitching of @Immaculata, I knew I had to stitch these when I saw her finished pieces of the same patterns. I love them so much!

I originally thought I would frame them, but I didn’t love the square frame for the round pattern:

So I wrapped them around circular cardboard pieces, backed them with felt, and added a sparkly trim. I’m much happier with the end result!

Thanks everyone! These were fun to stitch!

It’s actually just 2 different colors. I couldn’t find the exact numbers for two of the colors in the store, so I just got as close as I could!

I love that you showed them next to your hand. They are bigger than I thought and are perfect wall decorations. I love them being round!

That ombré effect was written into the pattern. I just matched colors as best I could for a couple threads. :wink:
