Independent craft blog since 2007
I’m launching a new column on DIY Weddings called Pinteresting Weddings and I can’t wait to share it with you! Every weekend I’ll create a Pinterest board with a new theme for wedding inspiration, tutorials, crafts, DIYs, and more. I’m kicking off the series with a board that’s all about the shoe. I’m starting with 20 pins, but as I’ll share more as I find them. If you have a tutorial you’d like to share please send a link to [email protected] and I will add it to the board. Happy pinning!
If you’re putting together Christmas sewing projects, this free Poinsettia embroidery design from Ann The Gran is a really handy one to save. It’s a machine embroidery design from Contributor, sized at 3.64″ x 3.67″, with 14,949 stitches, and it fits a 4″ x 4″ hoop. It’s also offered in a wide range of formats including ART, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PCS, PEC, PES, SEW, VIP, and XXX.
What I like about this one is that it feels classic and easy to use. A poinsettia always works at Christmas, and because this design is fairly compact, it would be lovely on napkins, tea towels, gift bags, table runners, or even the corner of a festive cushion. It has enough detail to look pretty, but it’s still small enough to be practical. That last bit is my take based on the listed size and the preview image on the page.
It’s one of those good stash-building freebies. Not huge, not fussy, and very easy to picture on all sorts of holiday projects. If you like collecting free Christmas embroidery designs, this one is definitely worth downloading. Ann The Gran also tags it with keywords like Xmas, Flower, and Floral embroidery designs, which fits the style nicely.
