Lemon + Lime

A fresh, botanical fruit embroidery

A vibrant pair of citrus fruit – a lemon and a lime – complete with leaves. Beautifully detailed, they’re bright and uplifting and a pleasure to stitch

Each fruit is filled with a rich variety of embroidery stitches, from familiar favourites to unexpected ones that keep the stitching engaging. There’s a gentle nod to crewel embroidery, reimagined in a fresh and contemporary way. With organic shapes and flowing forms inside each fruit that use decorative filling stitches to create texture and interest. And shades of colour that add depth and detail as you stitch.

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

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