Add festive polish to Christmas stitching with this elegant bauble design, built around a round ornament topped with a neat bow, ribbon hanger and gold-look cap. Fir branches, holly leaves, red berries and white snowy frosting give it the feel of a dressed tree branch rather than a plain ornament, while the pink, green, gold and red palette keeps it soft and refined. It suits makers who want a classic seasonal motif with more presence than a simple outline, especially for gifts and home décor that need a finished, decorative look.
With nine thread colours and dense, heavy stitching, this design has the coverage and detail to stand up well on substantial fabrics such as cotton napkins, table runners, quilt blocks, sweatshirt fleece and Christmas stockings. It would also sit beautifully on the front of a linen gift sack, the corner of a festive tea towel or the back of a child’s cardigan where the rounded shape can read clearly. Because the stitching is full and detailed, it looks best on stable fabrics that can support the rich fill and keep the snowy accents crisp.
