Christmas Botanical Wreath Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Theres no central motif, no ribbon bow, no text. Its just the wreath itself, a circular ring of layered botanical elements. Holly with proper spiky leaf edges, clusters of red berries, dark fern fronds, small branches of black berries, and rounded orange seed-pod shapes that give it an autumn-into-winter feel. The whole thing uses sketch-fill with visible stitch direction throughout, not flat satin, which is what makes it read as hand-illustrated. My friend who sells linen napkin sets uses this on the corner of every christmas napkin she makes, and people always ask where she got it.

Five colors, 5 sizes from 3.5 x 3.37 inches up to 7.5 x 7.2, approximately square footprint throughout. Stitch counts run from the pocket sweep climbing to 18,244 at the large end. 80 trims, 4 color changes. The sketch-fill approach keeps the count lower than you might expect for this much visual detail. Hoop polymesh underneath natural or bleached linen for the cleanest result. Switch to a 70/10 ballpoint for the satin fills to keep those fine fern frond lines from distorting on tight weave fabric.

Stitch this on linen for home dec and it looks genuinely high-end. Works as framed hoop art, napkin corners, tea towel centers, table runner ends, fabric gift tags. Position it at one corner of a pre-hemmed napkin using the 3.5 size for an elegant set. The botanical style also carries well outside december if youre on neutral or earthy fabric, so dont limit yourself to christmas-only use. Hoop the fabric taut and check tension on a test swatch before the full run.
