Apple + Pear

A fresh, botanical fruit embroidery

An elegant pair of fruit – an apple and a pear – complete with their leaves. Designed to sit beautifully together or stitched as individual fruits.

A rich variety of embroidery stitches keep the embroidery engaging so you don’t feel like you’re repeating the same thing for too long. And organic, flowing shapes filled with intricate and original stitch combinations offer something fresh and a little different. It’s a gentle nod to crewel embroidery, but in a more modern and relaxed way. The decorative stitches create texture and visual interest, and subtle changes in colour add depth and detail as you stitch.

Embroider them as a pair or standalone fruits, depending on what you’re making. They’re perfect for kitchen décor, aprons, tea towels, wall art, napkins… and make lovely gifts that don’t take an age to embroider.

Apple + Pear is one of eight patterns in the Fruit Duos collection, available as a bundle.
