stitch club :: 2/2026 :: citrus

for this months' new pattern, let's stitch something light, fresh, and simple.
this sweet design is going to be a fun one.

to start, i'm keeping it super simple. using the dark green floss, i outlined all of the peels in [back/2].
then i used [back + seed/1] to stitch the contour lines + dots on the outer peel, and the lemon segments.

for the fruit leaves, i'm outlining with [back/2] and then filling in half of each leaf with [brick/2].
💙 i'll be updating this post as i make more stitching progress... stay tuned! 💙
