Hope to get a little slow stitching in today! Sharing at Kathy’s Quilts - Slow Sunday Stitching. She reminds us that it is World Embroidery Day! So let’s join in!
I found this bread cloth in my stash. Only two colors on this poinsettia, DMC 816 and 503. The called for colors are 816 and 500. But 500 is dark like in the wreaths on the magazine cover below. So I substituted a color closer to the color on the green leaf in the bread cloth on the cover.
Sorry about the lighting, it’s early here. I’m using a needle minder from Fat Quarter Shop!
The pattern comes from a magazine , Just CrossStitch, dated December 1991. There are a ton of fun stitches in this issue! You might see some more in the future.
Oh how fun to use your magazine collection for projects 30 years later! Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteYour lighter green seems much more like the color in the photo - it will be so pretty against the dark green cloth! Enjoy your stitching today, Judy!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you found the perfect green color for your project, Judy. Happy embroidery day!
ReplyDeleteGreat project to work on!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, I just love the colors, and it will be fun to see the progress. That needle minder is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour floss selection is perfect for a poinsettia. Hope you got lots of stitching done.
