Merry Christmas Samplera Cross Stitch Pattern by Imaginating

I was attracted to the simplistic design, which I like. However, I didn’t care for some of the color choices, pink and burgundy. I made changes there and also made the MERRY CHRISTMAS all one color. My framer picked the perfect Christmas print mat to highlight the design.

Fun to make. I made the rows separately to make separate ornaments rather than as a sampler.

I have found this to be an easy stitch. I need some smalls so I am dividing the piece into several small pillows. I had put it on hold because I wanted to stitch some spring/summer pieces but I'll be getting back to it soon. I do have a wrist injury that's slowing me down considerably.

I am not stitching this at the moment, and it appears not for THIS Christmas (2018) as I'm in the second half of a larger pattern... I know I will greatly enjoy this stitching this pattern for next Christmas. I am easily overwhelmed, not only in stitching but in many ways in life! I never realized it for a long time that that was why I never finished "so many" cross-stitch patterns! I have to back down to easier projects that won't overwhelm with difficulty or detail. Looking forward to this! once I finish that!

I am stitching this sampler as I type this. I think it will be very attractive when finished. Looking forward to having it for my own or possibly giving it as a gift!

I love this site. I've ordered several times and my single issue was taken care of promptly by customer service. I know when I need any cross stitch supplies to come to Every thing Cross stitch and they will have what I need.
