Diamond Dreams

diamond-dreams-colour-complements

I have two Diamond Dreams to share today.

Diamond Dreams is a pattern designed by Carolyn Mitchell. 

Both samples measure 2 ½ inches stitched on 18 count canvas.

Here are two examples of using elements of a larger design.  Remember, elements can be used to stitch smaller samples OR they can be re-arranged to create a “new” pattern.  They are very versatile designs!

Anyway the sample above uses the following colours

  • Colour 120 – corner Rhodes hearts
  • #65
  • Colour #30

The small bargello pattern below is stitched with 3 strands of floss in colours

  • #65
  • #18
  • #64

I think repeating several of these diamonds would look wonderful in a slightly larger design.  Perhaps stacked one on another OR side by side. 

Both samples will become card inserts for our local guild.  

Thank you D.
