Fall Leaves Duo Embroidery Design, Instant Download

2 maple leaves sitting side by side on the same stem, overlapping in the centre. The left one is a full rich green, the kind of green you see right at the start of autumn when the trees havent fully committed yet. The right one is a warm golden amber, fully turned, same shape and size. The split between the 2 colours is what makes it interesting, its one image but it tells the whole season in a single frame.

Both leaves have detailed vein lines, the orange thread tracing the midrib from stem to tip and branching out through each lobe in a finer secondary network. A satin border run picks up the serrated leaf edge and gives each lobe a clean defined finish. The density at 770 means its a fairly full satin piece, the leaf bodies are solid fill, not just outline. Use cutaway stabiliser here, medium weight, and hoop firm so the straight vein runs dont deviate. Run at mid-speed through the leaf fills to keep the satin columns sitting flat and even.

Stitch count runs from 12,227 at the smallest 2.68-inch size up to 33,208 at the 5.74-inch largest. The density is concentrated in the 2 leaf fills, the orange vein lines on top add fewer stitches by comparison, so the machine rhythm is a long fill followed by shorter detail passes. Nothing unusual in the run sequence, just stay consistent with bobbin tension across the colour change from green to amber.

On cream or natural linen the 2-tone leaf reads almost like a printed fabric block. On dark fabric like navy or charcoal, the green goes very saturated and the amber glows. Either way its a versatile design, it works without context, you dont need text or a secondary element to explain what it is. One customer ordered a set of napkins last october with this on each corner and said the table looked completely put-together with almost no effort.
