Top 10 Tuesdays: Top 10 Xmas Charts

I did a post on this a few months ago and you can see it here. I'll add 10 different charts this time. I'm sure that Keebs and Kate and I will all have different charts in our lists, so check their lists as well to get some ideas for your Xmas gifts. :)

TOP 10 CHRISTMAS CROSS STITCH CHARTS

1. Reindeer Games: The Huddle by Ink Circles

I haven't stitched this one, but I love the creativity behind it. You don't even know right away the motifs are reindeer and using one red bead to represent Rudolph is very clever. My only question is, which reindeer is missing? :)

2. Twas the Night Before Christmas by Sue Hillis

Sue Hillis has so many fun Christmas patterns! I love how she adds fun to all of her designs and I have one of hers lined up to re-stitch next year. 

3. December by Cross Eyed Cricket

I've never stitched anything from this designer, but this looked fun. They have something for every single month if you're in to that kind of seasonal work. I'm much too lazy to change things every month. :)

4. Small Sleds - Mini Village by Foxwoods Crossings

I don't have any of these sleds, but they look like a fun little ornament to stitch and they're finished by the time you're done stitching! 

5. The Joys of Christmas Ornaments by The Drawn Thread

Another set of ornaments and all different designs to say "Joy". I like these small little stitches and I bet if you like this chart you could finish at least one ornament by Xmas. 

6. Mill Hill kits other than trees - Merry Moose and Polar Bear

I posted about the Mill Hill tree kits in my previous Xmas chart post, but there are a lot of other kits that Mill Hill produces that are Xmas oriented. There are a set of musical instruments as well as beautiful beaded ornaments, not to mention these fun animals. 

7. Jolly Trio Christmas stocking by Dimensions

This keeps falling in my wish list. I have yet to stitch a stocking for myself. I don't usually like cutesy stuff, but this somehow always catches my eye. Plus you could say there's 3 subjects in this and that would fit with DH, DD and myself. There's also a tumbling pile of snowmen I'm debating about. But first, to finish DD's stocking. 

8. Little Girl with Ornament by Handblessings

My eye is always drawn to this one as well. DH doesn't think much of it, but I like that it fits with DD and our cat. And she got a nice Xmas nightshirt for her birthday from her great-aunt, so it really fits this year! I might get this one to stitch as an ornament for our tree after seeing how Vonna (The Twisted Stitcher) stitches ornaments each year for her children. I should still have time to finish it. I would likely change up the colours though. 

9. Tiny Tidings XIX by Lizzie Kate

You can't go wrong with LK. It's easy to tell how much she loves Christmas by how many amazing designs she has. I'm stitching one right now and have about 3 more in my stash. These ones are very fun and would be a nice gift for anyone.

10. Happy Christmas by Prairie Schooler

I will admit I'm not a big fan of primitive designs, so I don't have any Prairie Schooler designs in my stash, but I really like this one. And since they're retiring, if you're looking for any PS designs, better add them to your stash now!

I hope you enjoyed the list and I do not apologize for stash enhancement. :)

Happy Stitching!

  1. I've looked at that Cross Eyed Cricket chart for September numerous times, but I never break down and get it (probably because once I add the fabric and specialty stuff, it's really expensive). Great list!

  2. Well you and I must have similar tastes as I like all of these! There are a few I hadn't seen before as well. Must step away from the computer now...

  7. Great list. Love the Ink Circles reindeer. Which one is missing? Ask someone to name all of Santa's reindeer and the one they can't remember is the missing one! It's like the 7 Dwarves, there's always one you can't remember!

Delay Again, Anyone Surprised? :)

Hello all! So, with all those well-laid plans in place, of course, the following Thursday I injured my right elbow and hadn't been able ...
