Stitching time (estimate)
≈ 5–9 hours per design
That's roughly 1–2 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 →Nine original easy cross stitch patterns of one cute white goose dressed for Christmas, in a soft palette of snowy white, cranberry red, evergreen and gold: Goose with a Big Red Bow, Goose in a Knit Scarf, Goose with a Wreath, Goose Carrying a Tree, Goose in a Santa Hat, Goose on Ice Skates, Two Geese with a Ribbon, Goose with a Lantern and Gosling in a Stocking. Each goose sits on its own pastel round or oval backdrop in sky blue, blush, mint or cream, with just a few colors per design.
Stitch one goose for a small hoop, an ornament, a gift tag or a card, or stitch several together as a Christmas goose sampler for the mantel or the tree. A cheerful, quick handmade project for beginners and for everyone who loves cute birds. Tip: the motifs show best on white, cream, ivory or light linen Aida. An original House of Needelier design, ready to download and start stitching today.
