Victorian Christmas Children
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Maria Diaz

 

 

 

Here is a charming series of Christmas scenes with children, reminiscent of olden Christmas times. It is designed by Maria Diaz. 

 

The design comes with 6 different portraits of children that can be stitched either individually or in a pair of two frames (as shown in photo).

 

The first series takes place outdoors, in the snow. A strong young lad, clad with a cap, is hauling a Christmas tree. Two boys are racing a sledge. A girl in a warm red coats is carrying gift boxes.

 

The second series takes place indoors. A girl is decorating the house with garlands and her sister is hanging up Christmas stockings. A little boy dressed as a page is bringing a glass of sherry on a tray. 

 

The piece was stitched on bright navy blue Aida from Charles Craft. You could stitch it on virtually any color background as long as there is enough contrast so the white snowflakes are visible on the fabric.
