9 Needlework Patterns For Christmas

November 6, 2014 by Larissa Coleman Leave a Comment

christmas

If you are looking for a fun little project to keep your hands busy during the holidays, look at these 9 patterns we have found.  They are all simply beautiful and are sure to put you in the holiday spirit.  While some may be a little more advanced than others, you are sure to find something that catches your eye.

Did I ever tell you the story of the Christmas tree in France?  When I saw the Christmas tree in the French village square, I was struck by how beautiful it was. Each ornament had a beautiful cross-stitch design on it, made by the women in the local township. It was a beautiful way to remember the townspeople who had passed away over the past decade or so.

I was inspired to create a similar ornament in honor of my loved ones who have passed away. Using crafts to help others in the community is a beautiful way to remember those we have lost and to connect with them in a special way. Thank you, Christmas tree, for reminding me of the special bonds we can create through crafts.

 

This cross-stitch roundup is all about free patterns. We have created this quick list with links to each Cross stitch pattern. We have tried to choose free patterns to suit something for everyone.
