Makes: “Tomatoes Worth Growing”

Celebrate summer’s tomato harvest! We’ve designed this large, 11″ x 11″ image featuring 7 of my favorite tomatoes for you to embroider. Hang it on the wall or make it into a pillow. The 12-page instruction booklet shows one way to stitch the design, but you can substitute with your own threads, fabrics, and stitches to your heart’s content. This project is creative and educational. It includes: a write-up of each of the beautiful tomatoes chosen and uses botanical terminology (with definitions) that can help you learn the names of tomato plant parts.

Use the pattern again and again (try different threads and fabrics) or transfer a single tomato or two to a towel, hankie, pillowcase, article of clothing, etc to get even more from the design (suggested as practice for beginners).
