I stitched some of the green in her skirt & then went to add the lighter shade of "peach" & it didn't show up on my fabric (32 ct Antique Ivory) AT ALL. I then spent the next hour trying several different shades of threads & didn't like most of them. :-( I ended up using WDW Red Pear for the lighter shade & GAST Baked Apple for the darker. I haven't done any of the blue or brown, but I think it will be fine now. I am also going to use a "peach tone" for her skin, possibly CC Rosy Glow, we'll see. Here is a pic of my big start....
Hopefully it will be okay with the other colors... we'll see tonight!
So, did you start stitching & how much did you get done? :-)
Beautiful start and the colors are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you are using on your My Lady's Quaker! I too experimented with colors as the lightest peach didn't want to show for me. This is really looking pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours Amy, I love the green!
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors you chose against that fabric. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteGreat start Amy! Your thread colors are so pretty!
