Stitching time (estimate)
≈ 11–23 hours per design
That's roughly 3–5 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 →Six original, gentle and funny cross stitch patterns about the stitching hobby, each a little sampler card with a pastel background, a simple border, corner daisies and one cute icon: Powered by Tea & Floss, My Floss Stash Is Not a Problem, Do Not Disturb I Am Counting, Just One More Stitch, Time to Frog It and Cut Me Some Slack. A teacup and a skein of floss, three skeins, a needle with red thread, an embroidery hoop, a smiling frog and a pair of scissors keep the humor friendly and clean.
Stitch one as a gift for a fellow stitcher, for a small hoop, a craft room shelf or a card, or stitch several together as a row of mini samplers. Tip: the cards show best on white, cream, ivory or light linen Aida. An original House of Needelier design, ready to download and start stitching today.
