Today I'm changing things up a bit again. This is not cross stitch. I think you'd call it needlepoint or bargello? Anyways, it's something completely different for me and I've enjoyed it a lot so far.
I chose this project from Cross Stitch and Needlework November 2014 and the title is Autumn Elegance. I decided I'd rather stitch this as a Xmas gift though, so I changed up the colours.
Here's my start and a photo of the original magazine so you can see what the finished project will look like and how I changed the colours.
I'm using Caron Watercolours in Holiday, Moonglow, Emerald and Cardinal. I love, love, love how it's coming together so far and I can't wait to get back to this one. It's a relatively easy stitch on ivory 22 count hardanger fabric as well.
Do any of you like branching out to try different techniques?
Happy Stitching,

ReplyDeleteOhhh I love it! I love trying new things. Great start on it and I love your changes.
ReplyDeleteYour "Holiday Elegance" is looking great! I don't think I could stick with just one technique. I have to have a lot of different ones going at once.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful start Tiffany. I love the colors your using. I'm old and don't like change. I'm very happy making little x's. LOL
