Blackwork Christmas Designs that stitch up quickly

The three smaller blackwork Christmas designs on this page can be mounted into aperture cards to send to your family and friends during the festive season. Alternatively, why not stitch two of each of them and mount them into coasters to give as a Christmas gift?

Even if, like me, you tend to leave things until the last minute, you will find that these designs each stitch up in around 2 to 3 hours. Download them now and have a finished project ready by the end of the day!

The charts are presented in pdf format, so you can use them whether you are on a PC or a Mac.

So all that is left for me to do is wish you a Happy Christmas and let you browse the designs and pick your favorites. Let's start with the largest of the designs, a sweet star.


Blackwork Star

blackwork-christmas-star (24K) What would Christmas be without a star atop the tree. Using just two fill patterns featuring tiny stars and giftwrapped parcels this design is stitched in black and gold.

Design size 4.6 x 4.6" when stitched on 14 count Aida. Or stitch it on a smaller count and mount it in a card.

Use our handy calculator if you want to use a different fabric count.

Nice and clear

I recently bought one of your charts, the Blackwork Lacemaker.

I have not done blackwork but the chart looks nice and clear and I look forward to having a go.
