Cross Stitch Apple with Leaves

About this design

This cross stitch apple embroidery design features a plump round apple shaded from bright red into warm orange, topped with a leafy green sprig and marked with a small star-shaped blossom near the base, worked entirely in x-shaped cross stitches. The glossy two-tone fruit and fresh green leaves sit against an open cream background for a cheerful, rustic, farmhouse-kitchen look reminiscent of vintage sampler needlework. Its rounded, self-contained shape makes it a versatile single-hoop motif, whether as a stand-alone accent or a focal kitchen or classroom decoration. Try it on tea towels and kitchen towels, aprons, table runners, placemats and napkins, tote bags and market bags, pot holders and oven mitts, throw pillows and cushion covers, teacher-gift totes and pencil pouches, quilt blocks, jar covers, mug rugs, and framed hoop art. It also stitches up as a charming handmade gift for teachers, kitchen and food lovers, gardeners and needlework fans, well suited to back-to-school and teacher appreciation, housewarmings, Mother's Day, birthdays, harvest and thank-you gifts. Compatible with popular embroidery machine formats including DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS, XXX, PEC, and more.
