Eat Drink and Be Thankful Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Eat perches up top in orange brush cursive, Drink and be stack below in warm grey condensed type, thankful trails at the bottom in flowing grey script, theres two orange pumpkins tucked in (a wee one up top, a bigger one under the word be), and soft green leaf branches weave between every line. Four lines worth of phrase running vertical instead of horizontal, fits oddly well on a kitchen apron or pillow front. Im not gonna lie, its a layout that surprises everyone the first time.

Three threads total: orange handles the pumpkins plus the word Eat, warm grey carries the bulk of the phrase, green covers the leaf branches. Cursive Eat at the top uses a brush stitch underlay run so the script keeps painted weight on heavier fabric like canvas duck. The middle grey block carries a packed tatami at slightly under half mm spacing, and the bottom thankful cursive holds a thin satin column down the middle. Stitch counts climb from 7,550 at the small end up to 18,971 on the biggest version, big size fills a pillow front beautifully. Its a proper autumn workhorse, honest.

A customer pinged me last november, said she had been hosting thanksgiving for eighteen years and finaly wanted custom embroidery on her host apron. She ran the six inch design on a natural canvas apron front, said her sister asked where she bought the apron and didnt believe was hand done. I get loads of these requests for host aprons, this design delivers because vertical layout sits naturally on a bib panel.

Best on cream, oatmeal, soft sage, charcoal slate, or a dusty rust ground. Avoid bleach white, the grey condensed lettering loses its edge and washes out, charcoal works well if ya want a moody fall table linen with a turkey day mood. Youre gonna want a heavy no-show backing on cotton apron canvas since the dense grey blocks need the extra support. Hoop with the orange Eat aligned dead centre top. Run the smaller five inch design on the side panel of a wine tote as a hostess gift on arrival.
