Pomegranate + Passion Fruit

A ruby-toned, botanical fruit embroidery

A pair of fruit – a pomegranate and a passion fruit – complete with their leaves. Delicate and full of rich, ruby-toned colour.

Each fruit uses a variety of stitches, from the comfortingly familiar to raised and lesser-known ones, to keep things interesting. So you want to keep going once you start stitching, filling each area with colour, texture and detail. It’s a gentle nod to crewel embroidery, reimagined in a way that feels lighter, fresher and distinctly modern. With the organic fruit shapes and flowing forms within giving the fruit a realistic botanical feel.

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

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