Cozy Christmas Sampler

A square Christmas sampler featuring motifs like a snowman, yellow bells, a gingerbread man, and a Santa face. The elements are arranged in a grid inside a thin red and green border.

The design

The word Christmas sits in red thread at the top. Below it, the first row displays the word JOY, two yellow bells with a green bow, and a Santa face. The center contains a snowman with a green scarf, a red gift box, and green holly leaves with red berries. The bottom includes a cocoa cup with white cream, a red bow with white spots, a gingerbread man, and a candy cane. The photos show the piece framed on oatmeal fabric.

Stitching it

This pattern for beginners uses full cross stitches and backstitch. You need sixteen DMC thread colors to complete the design. The stitching takes about seven days. The square fits an eight-inch frame when stitched on 14-count fabric.

Finishing it

The sampler forms a framed piece for a room. It works well as a handmade Christmas gift.
