It's getting near that time of year again, and although I really don't like the idea of celebrating the holidays until at least the middle of December, I do appreciate that festive sewing has to begin well before the important date. So here's a decorative frame embellished with holly leaves, for the 5×7 inch (130 x 180 mm) hoop. The design can be used horizontally ("landscape" orientation) or, as in the scan, vertically ("portrait" orientation). You could use it to frame a holiday text or greeting, or another seasonal design. Or if you have a favourite photo you could use your ink-jet printer to print it on special fabric and use that to appliqué in the centre of the frame
The frame with an appliquéd centre
Alternatively, you could leave out the appliquéd centre altogether, and just stitch the design straight on to your fabric. The choice is yours!
Now – I'm trying something new this month. Instead of writing to ask me for the design, you should be able to download it directly by clicking THIS LINK. And don't forget to download the worksheet by clicking this worksheet link
How pretty I can see it with a Christmas wish in it
Hallo,
der Direkt-Download hat leider nicht funktioniert. Könnte ich bitte den schönen Weihnachtsrahmen bekommen – V6. Danke

Hi Mia, Thank you so much for this spectacular Holly frame design that can be used in a variety of ways! Along with the many ideas you presented for using this frame it would make fabulous Christmas towels or linens with a monogram too.
Thank you!!
