Add fresh movement to a plain garment with this modern sketch-style cherry, caught at the instant it hits the water and throws up turquoise splash lines, ripples and fine droplets. The bright red fruit, dark stem and touches of grey, white and purple give it a lively contrast without making it feel heavy. It suits makers who want something fruity and decorative, but sharper and more contemporary than a traditional botanical motif.
Because it is an open, lightly stitched design in 6 thread colours, it keeps the splash airy and the water effects nicely defined instead of turning into a solid block. It works especially well on cotton aprons, tea towels, kitchen totes, sweatshirt fronts and the back of a casual denim jacket, where the black sketch outlines help the cherry stand out. With 12 size options from small accent scale to larger statement placements, you can use the same design for anything from a pocket area to a more central panel.
