counted-canvas-colour-complements

With each collection of new colours, I always like to show some counted canvas designs to give readers an idea of how the colours co-ordinate. 

When I took the spring collection into my stitch group, the ladies decided they would stitch the same pattern but with different variations of colours.  Hopefully, all the samples will inspire you to STITCH!

The pattern chosen is Crystal Waters designed by Canadian designer Carolyn Mitchell.  It is a collection of seven smaller designs.  We selected the scissor fob in the ensemble but added borders to increase the size to approximately three inches on 18 count canvas. 

Over the next number of weeks I will be posting each of these samples, four in total. 

Today is Susan’s sample using the new spring collection including

What do you think of the colours?  Colour #60 is a variegated blend of pale blue/gray.  While it is shown combined with the yellow/tan and blue/gray blends, I think it would look really lovely with browns for a more fall appearing sample. 

Add additional borders/stitches of your choice and make it larger for a wall hanging or?

Remember, if you would prefer another colour combination, check out the shop.

Thank you Susan!
