Well, it’s freebie time again, and it’s also that time of the year when holiday designs are most welcome. And since I’ve been spending the last few weeks up to my ears in Christmas cards I should know well enough what seasonal designs I have in my collection. The problem is that things here have been so busy that I’ve not yet been able to create anything new for this year, so I’m stuck with offering you some pieces from the past, and I just hope that you don’t have these already. I don’t THINK I’ve given them out before but I have so many files that I’m not sure. They were all designed to be used as Christmas cards, but of course you can use them where-ever you think best
The designs are all for the 4×4 inch (100 x 100 mm) hoop, and are all in .pes v.6.. You will of course have to turn the platter design on its corner to make it look right. If you try the platter, I suggest that you stitch the red and silver balls with metallic red and silver thread – it adds a lot to the overall appearance
The festive platter
The holly pot
The poinsettia pot
Here is the festive platter, here is the holly pot, and here is the poinsettia pot. You can see some wrinkles in the backing fabric, but that was only because I used quite a light fabric to stitch them on. If you use something with a little body and thickness (for instance, a light felt?) and stabilise it well, there should be fewer wrinkles
Good luck with them!
Thanks for the beautiful Christmas designs. Christmas is in full swing already. We still have Thanksgiving in a few weeks, to plan for and celebrate.
I hope you are listening to Christmas music as you work, it keeps your spirit going.
I wish you a speedy finish with your cards so you can really enjoy the season.

Hello, I love your designs and am coming out of an extended mojo slump. Holidays will be a good thing this year!. I was trying to download, but the holly pot gives an error message. Can you check that please? Thank you for your designs.

I know all of us are busy this time of the year, and I don’t mind at all that these are not brand new – they are very nice. Thank you so much, Mia and have nice, safe, happy holidays.
Such a sweet holiday trio! I especially like the “festive platter,” with its delicate foliage atop that ever so lovely shelf or stand. Ja sure, metallic threads would make that baby pop on a card or anywhere else. The potted plants are also delightful, but the platter really tickles my ribs.
Thanks for the beautiful platters! You always do such amazing work! Happy Holidays to you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for more of your incredible designs!
