Peace on Earth: Dove with Holly

From our Heirloom Christmas line: a white dove carrying a sprig of holly, drawn like an antique Victorian Christmas card and carved in fine engraved lines. White wings carved in fine charcoal lines, with green holly and red berries in its beak. Under it, "Peace on Earth" is hand-lettered in a vintage script and stitched in satin. The light parts are the fabric itself, so it looks embroidered, not printed. Four sizes: an 8 × 12 for sweatshirt fronts, 6 × 10 and 5 × 7 with the lettering, and a 4 × 4 of the picture alone for ornaments, stockings and napkins.

• 4 sizes included: 190 × 268 mm (8 × 12 in hoop), 149 × 211 mm (6 × 10 in hoop), 118 × 165 mm (5 × 7 in hoop) and 75 × 91 mm (4 × 4 in hoop). Each size is digitized at its own size, not scaled.
• 3 thread colours, with Madeira Polyneon codes and the colour order on each size's production sheet.
• Light fabric: made for cream, white, oatmeal and light gray sweatshirts, linen pillows, stockings and tea towels. The light parts are the fabric itself, so skip black and dark colors.

Best on sweatshirts, pillow covers, stockings and tea towels. Use a cut-away stabilizer on sweatshirts and knits and a firm tear-away on linen; stitch the gold in metallic thread for an extra-special finish.
