Stitchery I'm Doing

Right now I'm working on the stitchery part of a quilt that's going to be a shop sample. The pattern is by Rabbit Haven and is called My Spring Garden. It's going pretty fast. I'd done three and taken them down but forgot to take pictures of them. But here's the ones I took down today.





Her patterns are all really cute. We've been selling them at the shop since before she had a website. The only problem I have with them is her choice of colours. She likes to use soft light colours and if I was to do it my way I'd use darker ones. For example the wings on the birds are a very pale yellow. In person you can see that they're there but in a photo it's hard to see. I suppose I could have chosen my own colours but when it's a sample I try to stick to what the instructions are for anyone else buying the pattern. Otherwise she has some adoreable ones both stitchery and quilts.

I see what you mean about the pale colors. I would make them darker, but I would also do exactly what you did.....per instructions for the shop. They are very cute.

They are just darling and I agree, I would use some darker colors for the embroidery. You have done a good job on them.

Yes really lovely and yes I would use darker colours too. Maybe she will change her mind about the colours when she sees it?
Have a nice day

They are so cute, I agree, the darker colours would make the design easier to see. Have a great day, Patricia
