Ok, so gummy bears are normally, fun to eat in generous quantities. Except, when they are the sugar-free kind.

They can then induce some real discomfort. As evidenced by these hilarious reviews of this product.

Admittedly, you have to eat a lot of these gummy bears, but why take a chance?

Want to know what’s in these gummy bears that causes so much pain if taken in excess?

Free Poinsettia Embroidery Design Review

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.
