Well, it is (almost) Christmas, so a few more seasonal designs may be welcome. These two are quite straightforward – both for the 5×7 inch (130 x 180 mm), with no applique and very few colours, so they don't need worksheets – it's pretty obvious what colour goes where. On the other hand, the stitching is quite dense – there are a lot of stitches and the designs take a surprisingly long time to stitch out. Here is a swirly Christmas tree

and here is a branch of holly. I used metallic silver for the star on the tree, and metallic gold on the holly's bow, which adds a nice sparkle

Here is the file for the tree, and here is the holly, both in .pes v.6
Oh – I nearly forgot – may I wish a very Happy Thanksgiving to all the blog's American readers. We don't celebrate it here in the UK so it does tend to pass by un-noticed, which is a pity because I always used to love it when I lived in the US
I don’t think anyone complains about more freebies, Mia, especially yours. Appropriate near Thanksgiving Day – and thank you for your greetings, too – as you are someone I’m sure we’re all thankful to have in our lives. Your happy little Christmas tree is especially fun! Thank you once again for all your generosity.
Thank you so much! The designs are lovely. I like Thanksgiving, too — it’s like Christmas without the stress of giving gifts (trying to decide what would be a good gift makes me anxious). 😉
I really enjoyed your tree and holly.
such a change to look at something cheerful. Our roads have been closed farms floating in water cities evacuated a mess here in British Columbia in the lower mainland.
Oh yes! more freebies and they are perfect for this time of the year. Thank you for your wishes for our Thanksgiving. Love your work, and you are so generous to us. May you and yours have a very Merry Christmas.
Thank you, Mia you are so generous with your delightful Christmas freebies. I do hope that you and your loved ones are able to spend a safe and happy time together this year. May the new year bring peace joy and happiness to all, and we do pray that in the world there is an end to this terrible virus.
Merci Mia
