Lemon Branch Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the lemon branch and its got that proper italian kitchen feel. The branch curves softly from bottom-left up to top-right. Three ripe lemons hang along it, leaves cluster around em, and a couple of lil white blossoms tuck between, the kind thatll turn into next seasons fruit.

Lemons themselves get the most attention. Each ones got a warm yellow base with a cream highlight on top, so the fruit reads round, not flat. The skin stippling is suggested, not heavy, just a few short stitches across the surface to hint at lemon pores. Leaves go sage on the lit side, forest-green on the shadow side, with a fine cream vein down the middle. Seven colours total, the swap between sage and forest is whats giving the leaves alot of depth.

I been digitising kitchen botanicals for years and this ones a steady seller. One customer ordered the 7-inch size for her tea towels last summer, hung em up at her cousins italian-deli pop-up, and people kept asking where to buy. Sent me messages on chat, that kinda thing.

The blossoms are tiny, four white petals with a yellow centre dot. Theyre easy to skip if you wanna simplify, just stop the file before colour 6. Density runs moderate at 754 stitches per square inch, with 12,763 to 36,568 stitches across nine sizes from 3.5 to 7.5 inches wide. So plan ya backing accordingly on tighter weaves.

Stitch on cream linen, oatmeal cotton or pale sage tea-towel weight for the cleanest read, the warm yellows pop best on neutral grounds. Skip very dark fabric, the white blossoms wont sit clean and might get lost. Use medium cutaway on lightweight cotton, tear-away on canvas. Drop me a chat ping if a stitch sequence mismatches the file.
