Stitching time (estimate)
≈ 7–15 hours per design
That's roughly 2–3 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 →Six original cross stitch bookmark patterns for winter, each 21 x 71 stitches with a rounded top, a colored border and a little scene, in a small palette of 26 colors: Cardinal on a Pine Branch, Snowy Cottage, Candy Canes & Holly, Snowflake Column, Reindeer Under the Stars and Cozy Reading Nook. A cardinal on a snowy pine branch, a cottage with a lit window under falling snow, two candy canes above holly, a column of snowflakes, a reindeer under the stars and a cozy reading nook with books, a mug and a candle.
Stitch one bookmark as a quick gift or a treat for yourself, or stitch the whole set for a winter reading season. Easy, small projects, great for beginners. Tip: the bookmarks show best on white, cream, ivory or light linen Aida. An original House of Needelier design, ready to download and start stitching today.
