Christmas Countdown - Cross stitch chart by Erica Michaels

Count the days until Christmas with a design you can stitch three ways! Create the calendar, a December drum, or a berry for the big day! All models are stitched on a creamy ground with a bright holiday color palette - but that’s easily switched up with your own fabric and floss selections.

The calendar model is mounted on a craft store wood 'block' which I stained in a darker wood-tone. Search your stash or shop for your own, finish as a flat-fold stand up, or frame. Lots of options!
