Lemons and citrus needlepoint patterns

Lemons and citrus, among them a whole lemon, a china bowl heaped with lemons and seen from the side, and a tangerine with its leaves.

The lemon lies level in most and hangs from its stem in one. Each of these is drawn in several styles. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and most can be made round; some also as an eight-inch mini pillow on 13 mesh. Where the yellows are close, lay the threads side by side first.
