Christmas Sleigh with Gifts Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Old-fashioned wooden sleigh, the kind youd see on a 1950s christmas card, stacked with wrapped gift boxes in red and cream tones. Each box has its own ribbon detail, some with big bows, some with simple crossover ties. The sleigh runners curve out at the front and back in that classic shape, all in deep brown with black outline work holding the form. No reindeer, no santa, just the gifts and the sleigh doing all the work.

Six colours total: red, sand, dark green, white, brown, black. Clean and traditional, nothing garish. Density is 1131 stitches per square inch across the filled sections which is hefty but the design is wide rather than stacked tall, so its comfortable to hoop on most standard frames. The gift ribbons are the densest single elements, they run as satin columns and the fabric cant shift during stitching or the ribbon lines waver.

A customer ordered the 6.51-inch version last christmas for a family quilt project, she was making individual embroidered squares for each holiday design and this was the centrepiece block. She said the ribbon details on the gift boxes came out clean enough to trace with your fingernail. That kind of feedback stays with ya. The white gift wrap sections definitely reward a firm base underneath.

Lay cutaway stabiliser under any stretch or loosely woven fabric, the wide fill sections will shift without it. Best on cream, white, navy or forest green base fabric. Avoid busy patterns behind it, theres not enough open negative space here for a patterned ground to work. Drop a medium size on a christmas kitchen towel or table runner and it looks like something from a craft fair, not a machine file.

Five sizes from 3.51 to 7.51 inches wide. Send a chat note if you need the ribbon colours adjusted for a specific fabric palette and Ill sort out a thread-swap note for ya.
