Add a pop of colour to a plain wall with this retro inspired set - a fun way to get your five-a-day! While subtle pastels will always have a place in our heart, sometimes it's good to shake things up, and these eye-catching fruits are a great place to start! Using bright thread shades that sing against the dark fabric, they'll add a modern-vintage feel to a kitchen, give a kids' bedroom a funky look, or bring the wow factor to a drab hallway. In fact, we can't think of a space they wouldn't work in! If you've never used black aida before, these vibrant motifs are an ideal introduction. Each one is made up of simple shapes, using mainly whole cross stitches, for an easily achievable finish. Tackle the sampler for an enjoyable weekend project, or try the zingy card designs for a quick fix that will yield stunning results. Frame these stitches with plenty of punchy colour to complete the retro look. Whether you stitch these as a fist or keep them for yourself, one thing's for sure - you just have to give these fab fruits a try!
