Cross Stitch Christmas Xylophone with Holly

About this design

This charming cross stitch embroidery design features a bright toy xylophone dressed up for the holidays. The tapering keyboard is stitched in cheerful stripes of teal, red, gold, green and orange with golden bolt studs along each side and a deep navy frame, while two slender mallets with silver-grey heads lie crossed at an angle over the bars. A spray of green and silver holly leaves fans out above the instrument, all worked in classic counted cross stitch style with crisp X-shaped stitches on a clean cream background. The playful colors and festive greenery make this a fun motif for children's holiday projects and music-themed stitching. Stitch it onto Christmas stockings, tree ornaments, advent calendars, tree skirts, holiday table runners and hoop wall art, or add it to pillows, quilt blocks, children's t-shirts, toy bags, tote bags, gift sacks, tea towels and greeting card inserts. This cheerful design makes a delightful gift for Christmas and winter celebrations, music lovers and music teachers, children's holiday decor, baby's first Christmas, birthdays and craft fair projects. Compatible with popular embroidery machine formats including DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS, XXX, PEC, and more.
