Played with the idea of a Christmas tree that has literally zero pine needles. The whole tree shape is built from interlocking scroll curls and teardrop floral motifs. Aqua-teal satin swirls spiral outward from a central trunk line, and nestled between those curls are bold red teardrop fills that read like stylised petals or ornaments depending on how you squint. The silhouette is unmistakeably a triangle tree but up close its all baroque scrollwork. A solid red 5-point star sits at the tip, and small aqua snowflake dots scatter around the outer edges to fill the negative space without crowding the design.
2 colours total, so its genuinely fast to stitch. Smallest size is 3.51 by 2.46 inches at about 10,600 stitches, the largest runs to 7.5 by 5.27 inches at just over 21,500. Density is 546 stitches per square inch, firm enough that the curls hold their shape on most medium-weight fabrics. Five sizes in the pack, which is handy because this one scales well: the scroll detail stays readable even at the smaller sizes because Wilcom kept the path widths generous.
Its a two colour design but it doesnt look minimal at all, not even close. The red-and-aqua combo is kinda unexpected for christmas gear and thats why it gets noticed. Ive had people say they wanted something christmas-themed that doesnt scream traditional green-and-red, and this one lands there nicely. Works on white, cream, ivory, pale grey, soft gold or navy. Cotton quilting fabric, linen, felt, fleece all work fine. Stitch it on a Christmas cushion cover, a tree skirt panel, a holiday tote or a festive table runner centre piece.
Use a medium cutaway or tearaway depending on your fabric. Float a topper on looser weaves so the fine scroll tips dont sink. If the star tip shows any pull at the very top, ease presser foot tension just slightly before running that colour pass. Any questions about the file, send me a message.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
