I’m so excited to share this list of Christmas hand embroidery patterns! All of these would make great gifts or fun DIY wall decor for the holidays. Lots of different modern Christmas hand embroidery designs to stitch and put on pillows, tea towels, or simply hang them in the hoop. I think I’ve gifted a hand embroidered project every year; they make the perfect car craft for Thanksgiving travel and then you’re ready to wrap them up the next month!
