This set of six modern Christmas trees are standing tall in their bold rainbow shades. Your lucky recipients are sure to display these bright and cheerful greetings in pride of place in their homes - and for good reason, with each and every stitch filled with the joy of the season.
They look ever so striking on a black fabric background, letting the colours dance and shine for all to see.
Once you've stitched up your rainbow-style trees, don't forget to add your own sentiments underneath using backstitch and a colour from the key of your choice. You'll find a handy backstitch alphabet chart on page 75, which you can use to personalise your cards, or you could use the style of alphabet that comes with our Design Library projects if you prefer.
You could even use these designs to make colourful place settings for the Christmas table, adding a name on each for a truly personal event. Get your playlists at the ready and sing along to your favourite festive tunes as you stitch this vibrant set!
Meet Fiona Baker
I loved the opportunity to design something so bright and colourful that I hope will bring joy to many this Christmas. I know stitching on dark fabrics can be tricky, but it’ll be well worth the effort to get this striking effect and seeing the colours pop!
