Apricot Cross Stitch Pattern

A Versatile Design for Kitchen & Home

Originally designed as a charming preserve jar cover, this fruit motif can be used in so many ways. Stitch it on traditional Aida cloth or directly onto linen to decorate kitchen towels, tablecloths, napkins, aprons, jar covers and other handmade kitchen accessories.

Combine it with other fruit designs to create a coordinated collection of embroidered kitchen linens, or stitch it on its own for a simple cottage-inspired accent.

It is perfect for decorating:

• Jam and preserve jar covers

• Kitchen towels and tea towels

• Napkins and breakfast sets

• Table runners and tablecloths

• Kitchen curtains and café curtains

• Bread basket liners

• Small framed decorations

• Handmade gifts

🧵Stitching Experience
