Chart: Like a Tomato, Cross Stitch Design

Bright yellows, deep reds, oranges, or almost purple, round, ribbed, or elongated… this superb composition celebrates the richness and diversity of heirloom tomatoes. Inspired by botanical plates and gardens of yesteryear, this embroidery features a true festival of colors and gourmet shapes.

Each variety is depicted with finesse and realism, accompanied by delicate foliage and backstitched details that give relief and elegance to the whole. This fresh creation will bring an authentic and warm touch to a kitchen, a conservatory, or a chic country-style interior.

The model was embroidered on Zweigart Belfast linen fabric, sage green, 12 threads/cm.
To be embroidered on 11 threads/cm linen fabric, 5.5 or 7 stitches/cm Aida fabric, or even on evenweave for a finer result. To preserve the softness of the colors and the vegetal spirit of the model, choose a natural or light plant-colored fabric.

The charts are printed with symbols and colors (Ref: DMC) on 6 pages.

Pattern size: 200 stitches wide × 180 stitches high; if you embroider on 11 threads/cm linen, over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads, or on 5.5 stitches/cm Aida, your embroidery will measure approximately 36.3 × 32.7 cm.
