As promised, another stitch along to close out the year! For this one I’ve already designed it so I know where I’m going, but I’ll reveal only one stitch at a time so you can be surprised!
I’ve based my color palette on Caron Collection 238 Glowing Embers, and pulled a Watercolours and a Waterlilies from my stash. I don’t know which of these I’ll use, but it was a good jumping off point to pick out colors.
In Glowing Embers I pulled out 5 color groups – pumpkin, dark green, burgundy, dark red and royal blue. These rich saturated colors seem perfect for the fall season. I pulled a pearl cotton and shaded cotton flosses in each of the color groups. I’ve also added some sparkly threads in each of the color groups – Neon Rays for a shine without metallic, Silk Lame’ Braid for a medium sparkle, and Kreinik #8 braids for more sparkle.
All of these colors work well for the 18 ct. Sandstone canvas I’ve selected. The finished design size is about 5″ by 5″, so I cut my canvas 11″ x 11″ to allow 3″ on each side of the design.
This stitch along should move a little faster than the last one – fewer stitches, and more time on my part.
So go stash diving, find your colors, mount your canvas, and the first stitch will be posted later this week!

Linda, we don’t have an official sign up but I do post to my blog as the instructions are written, plus I try to include in my emails to my list. I’ll do some further checking and get back to you.
