I’m not sure how to describe the charts here, other than to say, you REALLY have to see them to believe them. I will say that once you stitch a HAED pattern you will probably never stitch anything else again!! They truely spoil you with their concise directions and clear charts. And my Goodness those charts!!!!!! The subject matter is so diverse and stimulating, you can quite literally spend days just browsing. I frequently do!!!!!!!!!Be sure to look at the Premier Artists section as that features beautiful graphs by well known artists such as Amy Brown,Molly Harrison and Sue Miller to name a few. Also there are FREE patterns here and they are stunning.

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns
The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.
These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.
This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.
Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.
These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!
From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
i totally agree with every thing said
i have been stitching HEAD for about a year (yet to finish 1 mind)and i LOVE them
I’m glad you mentioned this! I love HAED patterns. But, I also wanted to mention the beautiful Josephine Wall patterns are simply gorgeous. I’m working on two of hers and they are simply stunning.
God Bless
