We Thank Thee Sampler

Hello blog friends.
The pictures you're about to see don't exactly match what it looks like in reality. Why do I say this? Because I know you'd be murmuring, What in the world was she thinking? Haha.
Last time I showed you this I was matching dyed floss vs. DMC to control my spending. This time around, I think you need to control me.
So here's the next color to finish off the border:
 It gets lost on the fabric, it's really lighter than the picture color. 
I replaced it with DMC 931, and here's how it looks: 
 It doesn't really look shockingly bright like the photo, I thought the medium antique blue evenly matched the dusky pink. Yeah, I really do need controlling. Maybe a nice frame mat will do justice to this piece, who am I kidding?

Thanks for visiting. Happy Stitching!

  1. Your stitching looks beautiful whatever shades you are substituting:) It is fine if you are spending for the right shade you are looking for but then if you collect too many brown/dusky shades then you will need some more projects around those shades in future.

  5. Your project looks really good in the photo! But bad color rendering in my photos is a great disappointment to me as well!
