As we find ourselves in the middle of winter here on the west coast of Canada, I thought this vibrant, pastel palette would be the perfect way to brighten things up!
Our first sample this month is a small section of Moroccan Autumn designed by Diane Grant. You will find the entire pattern in the September 2015 edition of Needle Pointers published by the American Needlepoint Guild. The sample measures 3 inches square on 18 count canvas. It could easily be finished as a small ornament for gift giving.
Allow your creativity to blossom with this gorgeous sampler. Gentle hints of coral, soft pink, canary yellow and mint green. All of our embroidery sampler thread kits offer an easy way to experiment with different colour combinations and threads.
The colours used in Diane Grant’s Needlepoint Pattern
This kit includes a range of colours that can be mixed and matched to fit any project. Here are all of the colours included in the kit:
- 1 skein of size 5 pearl cotton, colour #70
- 1 skein of size 5 pearl cotton, colour #71
- 1 skein of size 8 pearl cotton, green blend
- 1 skein of 6 strand cotton floss, colour #72
- 1 skein of rayon metallic, colour #71
- 1 skein of silk perle, colour mint green
Thread kits simplify selecting threads for your project, allowing you to focus on stitching. Each kit is curated with sufficient threads to stitch a small project such as Moroccan Autumn shown above, or any of many samples featured on the blog previously. Add more threads to expand the palette for a larger project. This pastel palette would be the perfect palette for your next needlepoint project.
I’ll be sharing another stitched project later this month featuring this sampler.
