About this pattern

An all-over lemon print, stitched solid on a mid blue ground. Five yellow lemons hang point down, one in each corner and one in the middle, each from a short stalk with two green leaves, one long and one short; the middle lemon's leaves are turned the other way. Four white lemon blossoms with yellow centers fill the spaces between them. Each lemon has a white mark of light, a deeper yellow shade down one side and a dark brown outline. One white line runs around the piece, a stitch in from the edge. Full crosses only. It is 72 by 87 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

72 stitches wide by 87 high: 6,264 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Winter White 3865, Lemon 307 and 4 more).
