Nisser - Christmas tree mat - Ingrid Plum (IP)

"Nisser" (Pixies) - Christmas tree mat - Ingrid Plum (IP) is an embroidery kit for a large Christmas tree mat with a decorative border of Pixies and classic Christmas colours. The motif runs all the way around the edge, while the large central area is left unembroidered, providing plenty of space around the base of the Christmas tree.
Red Pixie hats, blue outfits, green leaves and small golden details create a lively frame against the natural-coloured Hessian. The repetition gives the Christmas tree mat a clear pattern, while the many small figures and colour changes make the border interesting to explore in detail.
The finished Christmas tree mat measures an impressive 139 x 139 cm and is embroidered with Original Wool from Haandarbejdets Fremme.

A whole parade of Pixies around the Christmas tree

The Pixies are the recurring element throughout the motif. They are repeated along all four sides and form a continuous Christmas border around the large central area.
The figures have distinctive red hats and blue clothing with light details. Their small faces peek out between the strong colours and give each Pixie a charming expression.
The Pixies stand close together, creating almost a small parade around the Christmas tree mat. The regular repetition gives the motif rhythm and naturally guides the eye all the way around the border.
At the corners, the elements of the border meet and continue along the next side. This makes the motif cohesive and emphasises the mat’s large square format.

Red and white checks as a strong Christmas element

Between the Pixies are large red shapes with white checks. They give the motif a distinctive graphic character and add even more Christmas atmosphere to the border.
The red and white sections create a striking contrast to the Pixies’ blue outfits. At the same time, the colours are repeated so regularly that the entire border gains a clear structure.
Between the larger figures are smaller details in green and golden shades. Small leaves, ornaments and flower-like forms break up the red and blue areas and add variation to the motif.
The colour combination is classic without becoming monotonous. Red and blue create the strongest contrasts, while green and yellow add small warm and natural accents.

A large Christmas tree mat with a calm centre

The Christmas tree mat measures 139 x 139 cm. This provides a large area around the Christmas tree and makes the mat suitable for creating a clear frame around both the tree and the Christmas presents.
The large central area is left free of embroidery. This keeps the motif concentrated around the edge, where it remains visible when the Christmas tree is placed in the centre of the mat.
The natural-coloured Hessian provides a calm background for the many clear colours. The pronounced texture of the fabric also suits the large format and decorative Christmas motif well.
"Nisser" (Pixies) - Christmas tree mat can become a permanent part of the Christmas decorations and be brought out year after year. The large format and wide Pixie border make it a striking piece of needlework that takes a central place around the tree.

Embroidered with Original Wool from Haandarbejdets Fremme on Hessian

The motif is embroidered with Original Wool from Haandarbejdets Fremme. The yarn gives the red, blue, green and golden shades a full and textured appearance that suits the size of the Christmas tree mat well.
Hessian provides a robust and distinctive base. The natural-coloured surface allows the strong embroidery colours to stand out clearly while also emphasising the traditional needlework character.
The many repeated elements give the project a pleasant rhythm while stitching. Gradually, the parade of Pixies grows side by side until the entire Christmas tree mat is framed.
