Stitching time (estimate)
≈ 5–11 hours per design
That's roughly 1–3 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-four original cross stitch patterns of heirloom-style hand-blown glass Christmas ornaments: Classic Red Bauble, Mercury Silver Bauble, Teal Teardrop, Pink Reflector, Gold Finial, Holly Bell, Blue Onion Lantern, Peppermint Swirl, Glass Songbird, Golden Pine Cone, Toadstool, Snowman, Twisted Icicle, Acorn, Painted Lantern, Christmas Pickle, Glitter Heart, Glass Star, Snowy Cottage, Painted Tree Bauble, Noel Bauble, Glass Owl, Grape Cluster and Faceted Diamond Bauble. Classic baubles, finials, bells, reflectors and figural glass shapes in the soft pastels, jewel tones, silver and gold of mid-century tree ornaments.
Stitch one as a little tree ornament (back it with felt and cut around the shape), or stitch all of them together as one big ornament collection. Tip: the glass highlights show best on a mid-tone or dark fabric such as blue, green, grey or black Aida. An original House of Needelier design, ready to download and start stitching today.
