The Quilted Christmas Tree Rope Bowl pattern is an in-the-hoop (ITH) machine embroidery design that builds a fully pieced, quilted Christmas tree base right in your hoop — then walks you through wrapping it in cotton rope to create a one-of-a-kind rope bowl. No hand-piecing or quilting. Just hoop it, then follow easy steps to turn the base into a beautiful rope bowl.
Whether you're stitching holiday gifts or making them for your home, stocking your Etsy shop for the holiday rush, this pattern turns out a finished gift in an afternoon. (We promise you won't stop at making just one!)
