So it’s back to normal (I hope!) after a very long holiday break – made to seem even longer by the fact that here in the Scottish Highlands we were completely snowed in for something like three weeks
I spent a lot of this time going over my huge collection of old designs. I’ve been digitising now for nearly 15 years, and my files are full of designs that I no longer use, and I would really like to make many of them available to blog readers

So we’ll start 2026 with a free round design featuring flowers. I have several similar round floral designs which I’ll put up in coming weeks, but this will do to begin with. Here it is, in .pes v.6
It’s digitised so as to stitch on a circular appliqueed background, but you could just as well leave out the applique steps, as I’ve done on the stitchout that I’m showing
By the way, I’m still having problems with my new blog provider, so I hope that you can download the file successfully. Please let me know if you have any difficulties
So good to see you back! I can’t imagine how you made it being snowed in the three weeks. I live in the NW corner of Alabama, US. We don’t see snow like that. At its worst, snowstorms can last up to a week. They might happen once every 20 years. Most snows last 1 to 3 days, then it’s gone. Looks like you survived well. Hope your holidays were good.
Thanks you very much for this design. Love It!!!
Thanks, Janice! Yes, it was an unusual weather even for us. We live very near two large ski slopes so we’e used to snow, but this was something really different!
I’m glad you like the design, and VERY pleased that you could download it successfully – some people seem to have problems
Thanks again
Mia
Thank you Mia!

Simply delightful! I love this one and the 2nd one, too!
