Here is my Retro Christmas Ornament free cross stitch pattern. Stitched on 14 ct Aida cloth, with DMC thread (2 strands held together), and shown here in a 4 inch by 6 inch frame. The project is 52 by 74 stitches and would fit comfortably in a 8 inch embroidery hoop. Please note: This project is for Personal Use only, the pattern and finished project are not to be sold or used for any commercial purposes (don't be that guy!). So if you love pastel vintage ornaments, enjoy this kitschy little project:)
