A row of geometric christmas trees in a narrow border format. Each tree is basically just stacked triangles in outline stitch, no fill, no decoration, nothing fussy. Its the kind of design that looks more considered the simpler it gets -- twenty trees in a row as a running border is quite different to a single big tree centerpiece, and that distinction is the whole point of this file.
The narrow proportions are quite specific here: from the keyring size all the way to 3.14 inches wide at the largest, 1.46 at the narrow end. Height ranges from 3.51 to 7.51 inches. So its a strip, not a square block -- designed to run along the edge of something, not fill the middle. Single color, 6,165 stitches on the small end, 13,111 stitches at the largest. Drafted the border in a single sitting and the line quality is consistent across all five sizes.
One customer stitched this along the hem of a linen tablecloth for a proper christmas table setup -- tidy result with minimal effort and she said she couldnt believe how clean it looked. Pop it along the bottom edge of a kitchen towel. Run it around a pillowcase hem. Stitch a few rows on a table runner edge. Use it as a repeating element on a fabric advent calendar. The single-color and open fill mean its fine on textured fabric too -- the individual tree shapes stay readable even on a loose weave, which I wasnt sure about when I first tested it.

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.
