Stitching time (estimate)
≈ 1–2 hours per design
That's roughly 1–1 weeks at about 5 hours of stitching a week. Just a rough idea: we assume an average of 100–200 stitches an hour, and everyone stitches at their own pace.
Christmas gift ideas →Twenty-six original cross stitch patterns, one for every letter from A to Z, each a chunky red Christmas capital with a darker garnet outline, a snow cap on its top edges and a little holly sprig with red berries. Every letter is drawn in the same style so they stitch together into names, stocking labels, ornaments and holiday sampler rows.
Stitch one letter as an initial for a stocking, card or ornament, or stitch several letters in a row to spell a name. Tip: the red letters show best on white, cream, ivory or light linen-colored Aida. An original House of Needelier design, ready to download and start stitching today.
