Lime Splash Embroidery Design, Instant Download

A lime cut in half sitting in a water splash, droplets frozen mid-air around it. The citrus segments are filled with satin stitches that run from the centre point outward like actual lime wedge lines, and each segment alternates between bright lime and a paler yellow-green so theres clear separation between them. Eleven colours in the build, mostly greens with white for the splash highlights and a dark green for the rind outline. The whole thing reads as fresh and graphic, not fussy.

Sizes run from 3.5 wide by 2.45 inches tall at 14418 stitches climbing to 7.5 across 5.27 inches at 33,209 stitches. Density is 840 which is comfortable for medium cotton, canvas or linen. Ive ran the 5-inch onto a white tea towel last summer and it looked genuinely like a print, not like stitching. A customer who does farmers market stalls ordered 3 sizes for her kitchen linen range and she was realy pleased with how the greens stitched out on cream cotton.

Pop a medium-weight cutaway backer on stretchy fabrics, tearaway is fine for quilting cotton and canvas. Slap wash-away topping on any looped terry cloth, it stops the stitches sinking into the pile. Wilcom handled the underlay and stitch sequencing, so the path order moves from the rind outward to the splash which keeps the density balanced and avoids jump threads across those wedge areas.

Use the 3.5 size onto a linen cocktail napkin for a tropical table setting. Stitch the 7.5-inch size onto a canvas tote for a summer beach bag. Add it to an apron bib for a kitchen-themed gift set. Pick the mid-size for a patch on a denim shirt pocket.

Gonna be honest, citrus designs sell year-round but summer is when everyone wants them. Reach out if the file gives you trouble and Ill sort it out.
