Following the acquisition of Joann assets, the goal appears to be expanding the fabric and yarn departments—and that could be either a good thing or a bad thing for cross stitchers.

New Snowy Friends Ornaments Cross Stitch Pattern, New in Etsy Shop! Free Cross Stitch Pattern

 



I Finally finished up the Snow Friends Ornament Collection.  This collection is a super easy cross stitch pattern.  

The Ornaments measure approx. 2 x 2" each.  They are a quick stitch. 

For these patterns I used 14ct Plastic Canvas which I bought off Amazon for $7.99.  The pack came with 6 sheets. This pattern took only half a sheet.  I cut the sheet into 2.5 or 3" squares. 

There are seven total ornaments in the pattern for purchase in my Etsy Shop. 


The pattern has two Penguins, 


Two Foxes, 

Two Polar Bears, 


And a Snowman. 

I used DMC to stitch all of these.  
The Colors Include: 

310 Black

445 Lemon Yellow

341 Light Blue Violet

604 Pink Mauve Light

742 Tangerine Light

720 Dark Spice Orange

818 Baby Pink

976 Medium Golden Brown

3765 Very Dark Peacock Blue

3766 Light Peacock Blue

5200 Bright Winter White



I did stitch around the edges of the plastic canvas. 




I ended up making two sets of ornaments.  One set I made into ornaments.  I used Iridescent Hobby Lobby Trim # 1417476  to make the loop then a felt back.  




  




They turned out so cute. 









The next set I made into Frig magnets.  I simply used hot glue to attach a 1/2" magnet to the back. 

I absolutely love them. 

Here is a FREE Pattern to start you off.    Happy Stitchin'
