Design of the Month October 2026:

“Gesteck” by Cora Design

The season of cozy evenings, winter embroidery projects and the first preparations for Christmas is slowly beginning. 🎄🧵

And with that, our Design of the Month 2026 campaign continues with a new embroidery design.

Together with Cora Design, we are giving you the embroidery design “Gesteck” for free this October.

The design is only available for a limited time:

👉 free for emborado embroidery file management subscribers

👉 available until October 11, 2026

And this design also marks the beginning of something new. “Gesteck” is part of Cora Design’s new Christmas collection “Weihnachtsglück”, which launches on October 7, 2026.


🌿 The “Gesteck” embroidery design

“Gesteck” is a delicate, nature-inspired Christmas design with a wintery feel.

Like all Cora Design motifs, the design was first illustrated by hand, then digitized as an embroidery file and test stitched by a dedicated test team before its release.

The result combines festive elements with a subtle and natural look.

Subtle, wintery and versatile: the “Gesteck” embroidery design by Cora Design.

The design is especially well suited for smaller Christmas projects.

You could use “Gesteck” for example on:

  • napkins and table decorations
  • small gift bags
  • fabric ornaments
  • cushions
  • decorative embroidery hoops
  • festive accessories
  • a lantern or other decorations for your windowsill
  • handmade Christmas gifts

Thanks to its natural style, the design can also be combined beautifully with other winter and Christmas motifs.

🎄 The beginning of the “Weihnachtsglück” collection

“Gesteck” is not only our Design of the Month for October.

It also marks the beginning of Cora Design’s new Christmas collection “Weihnachtsglück”.

The collection launches on October 7, 2026 and includes six additional designs alongside “Gesteck”:

  • Sterntaler Mouse
  • Mouse in the Snow
  • Mouse with Scarf
  • Mouse with Stocking
  • Donkey
  • Robin with Star

Each design captures a small moment of the Christmas season and can be used either on its own or together with the other motifs in the collection.

The Sterntaler Mouse is one of six additional designs from the new “Weihnachtsglück” collection.

Cora Sandra describes the idea behind the collection like this:

“For me, Weihnachtsglück is about giving and receiving, about the little gestures and thoughtful moments we share during this time of year. With every embroidered design, you can pass that feeling on to someone who means a lot to you.”

This makes the collection especially fitting for handmade Christmas gifts and small personal presents.


🧵 About Cora Design

Behind Cora Design is Cora Sandra.

She has been creating embroidery designs professionally since 2020. Her designs do not begin directly on the computer.

Each motif is first illustrated by hand. The drawing is then digitized for embroidery machines and goes through several test stitches before it is released.

A dedicated test team checks the designs in practice before they are published.

Cora Design is especially known for lovingly illustrated animal designs and her various mouse characters. The new “Weihnachtsglück” collection continues this style.

Her designs combine small stories with lots of fine details and are created to work beautifully on a wide range of handmade projects.

🗂️ Organize your Christmas embroidery files with emborado

Christmas is often the time of year when embroidery collections grow especially quickly.

One Christmas design here, a freebie there, plus another design for a handmade gift. A few months later, you may still remember that you own a particular mouse, star or festive arrangement, but no longer know where the corresponding file is stored.

That is exactly where emborado can help.

With emborado, you can collect, search and organize your embroidery files in one central place.

For example, you can:

  • view previews of your embroidery designs
  • search embroidery files based on their content
  • assign designers
  • add your own tags
  • mark designs as favorites
  • create collections
  • view technical information such as size, colors and stitch count
  • mark designs as already embroidered
  • access your files from different devices

This makes it easier to keep even larger embroidery collections organized and find your designs again later.
