Bluework Winter Sledding Scene with Church

About this design

This nostalgic embroidery design captures a quiet winter afternoon in a single-color bluework style. Worked entirely in royal blue outline and running stitch, a child in a fur-trimmed hooded parka sits on a small wooden sled, the tow rope looping across the snow behind. In the distance a little country church with a cross on its steeple sits under a drifted roof, with a curl of smoke rising from a chimney and bare branches and snow banks completing the landscape. Large stitched snowflakes anchor the opposite corners inside a clean rectangular border, all on a cream background. The airy linework and single thread color make this quick to stitch and elegant on fine linens. Stitch it onto Christmas table runners, placemats, napkins, pillowcases, tea towels and hoop wall art, or add it to stockings, tree skirts, quilt blocks, cushions, tote bags, gift sacks, aprons and greeting card inserts. This peaceful winter motif makes a thoughtful gift for Christmas and Advent celebrations, housewarmings, hostess thank-yous, grandparents, church bazaars and craft fair projects. Compatible with popular embroidery machine formats including DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS, XXX, PEC, and more.
