Chart: Recipe Book, Cross Stitch Creation

Family recipes deserve to be kept in a setting that matches their worth. Between gourmet desserts, slow-cooked dishes, and kitchen secrets passed down from generation to generation, this notebook becomes the guardian of precious culinary memories. To adorn it charmingly, what better than delicate embroidery inspired by the apple, this generous fruit that symbolizes indulgence, tradition, and conviviality.

Designed by Véronique Enginger and Création Point de Croix, this creation showcases a superb apple-themed composition. Its generous shapes, luminous colors, and rustic spirit make it a particularly suitable motif for the kitchen. Combined with an elegant textile mounting, this embroidery transforms a simple notebook into a unique object that will be a joy to consult and pass down.

The model was embroidered on DMC 11 threads/cm ivory linen fabric, worked over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. This fabric particularly highlights the warm nuances of the motif and gives the whole an authentic charm inspired by traditional works.
