I am embroidering the first of the gifts for the coming festive season. This apron is for a keen gardener and friend.

Thanks for looking.

I have used existing files from my collection of designs and assembled them to my liking.
Machine embroidery is one of my hobbies.
Thanks an hugs, Roberta

Thank you very much Chris, it was not the sewing that took much time it was the composition, all the vegetables are independent files in need to be slightly resized to maintain the proportion. Thanks and hugs, Roberta

Roberta, the apron is absolutely gorgeous. I'm more a gardener than a cook, and I would be scared to actually cook in something so pretty! Also love the phrase and the placement of it.

Wow, that's beautiful, Roberta!
Years ago I have received a beautifully embroidered black apron as a gift and I'm still using it in the kitchen - too beautiful for the garden :-)
Hugs, Lidia

Your thread choices are perfect! I'm amazed that you were able to stitch on that fabric without puckers inspite of the denseness of the design. Good idea to put the lettering at the bottom to avoid stitching on the pockets. I never thought to do that, but I'm sure I'll use that technique too. Thanks for posting such an inspiring design!

Thank you very much for your kind comment. I put the lettering in that position just to avoid stitching back the pocket......glad you like it!
