Cross Stitch Christmas Books by Better Homes and Gardens

A Cross Stitch Christmas Books by Better Homes & GardensMy Favorite Cross Stitch Books

My all time favorite cross stitch pattern books are the Cross Stitch Christmas collection from Better Homes and Gardens.

There are so many fabulous patterns in these books, that it is often really hard to decide which one to make first.

Each book offers a wide variety of designs with a range of skill levels from easy to experienced. In addition to the standard picture cross stitch patterns, the books also give instructions for making a multitude of different gifts like towels, ornaments, stockings, banners, wall hangings and jelly jar toppers.

The patterns are all in color and large enough to easily read. Perhaps, that is the biggest reason I prefer these books to others.

I have featured four of my favorite projects from each book, but these books are all filled with patterns, instructions and beautiful photos of finished items.

    Hi there! Would you happen to know if “Nutcracker Ballet Stocking by Barbara Sestok” is in any of these books? I heard that it is, but haven’t been able to locate which one or if it’s even in any of them. Your help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

      Jessica, I am so sorry for not being able to find that pattern for you, but I was thrilled to read today on another site that you had found it in the 1997 Christmas From The Heart, Holiday Magic book. How smart you were to contact the designer!
