A Coppery Christmas
Freda's 2025 Christmas Tree is coming September 1! Copper accents on green make this tree a must stitch this season!
Featuring Rainbow Gallery Flair and some lovely copper Kreinik metallic threads, this design is just 4" x 6" finished. If you need a quick Christmas project - this is the one for you!
Website Housekeeping - Digital Download Upgrade
Over the next few months we will be upgrading the website to a new digital download application.
GOOD NEWS! The new download application will allow up to 5 downloads of each pattern per purchase!
As we update listings, you may receive emails notifying you that the digital file has been updated. Please note - there will be no material changes to the pattern files. The notification email just means that the listing is now using the new download application.
If you have any issues downloading files you've previously purchased, please reach out to us at fredasfancystitching@gmail.com
