It didn't take long for the framers to do their magic.
I selected a whitish frame matted with the evergreen to show case this piece.

| LIZZIE KATE WINTER'S ALPHABET Started in November 2014 - Finished in May 2015 Stitched on 32 ct natural light linen with 2/2 threads Threads Used: DMC: 310, 452 (for the smoke out of the chimney), 921, and 3731 Crescent Colors: Really Teally and Ribbon Red Weeks Dye Works: Deep Sea, Emerald, Lancaster Red, Molasses, Monkey Grass, Pecan and Whitewash |
Since I'll be selling these gently used charts on ebay, I thought it best to note what colors were used someplace, so am using this format to record the threads and pertinent information. It's all done with the called for threads and linen.
The only deviation was the color of the smoke coming out of the chimney,
that aqua was just too brisk, so a softer grey was called for IMHO.
Stay tune for what I decide to start cross stitching next, there are several on my want to do list.
Decisions... decisions...........
That looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so lovely. I only made it through one cross stitch and had it framed. It took me forever.
ReplyDeleteCute sampler! Love the frame. "Should" get my xstitch framed! You'll have to tell me where you took it when I see you! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow! this is a really beautiful piece! What patience it must have taken.
ReplyDeleteI am glad I could find your blog, because Blogger did not let me know you had commented and so I have no email address for you. I loved your heart swelling story about your little granddaughter's charity quilt. That is so amazing she did that!
I really like this. I envy you the ability to see well enough to make it. LOL
