Fruity Hoops - Love Quotes
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Tapestry Barn

Express your Love in cross stitches, with quotes and sayings Tutti Fruity style!

Choose from 'You're a real peach', 'Top banana', 'Apple of my eye', 'Two peas in a pod' and 'Be my cherry pie' - or stitch all five.

Quick and super easy to stitch, they can be completed in no time, even by beginner cross stitchers.

The stitched pieces will look great as a mini picture, framed in an embroidery hoop. They will  fit into a 10 cm / 4 inch diameter hoop when stitched on 14ct Aida or 28ct linen.

Three fun ideas to personalize your project:

1. Small is beautiful, make the message tiny and cute: it will measure less than 3 inch on 18ct Aida, or even less than 2 inch if stitched over a single thread, on 28ct linen or evenweave.

2. Add variations in color, without changing threads

Overdyed and variegated threads will be perfect for stitching these designs. Pick a favorite color. We suggest stitching full cross stitches and working areas, not rows to avoid stripy effects.

3. Make a key-ring:

We suggest switching to a dark background fabric - so it doesn't get dirty - and stitching on a tighter count (see above) to make it small and cute. Stitch a different quote on each side. Trim into a round or square shape and mount cushion-style with a bit of stuffing inside.
