My Thoughts
I am officially entering my over-dyed floss era. I recently took the leap and tried out some hand-dyed floss from Roxy Floss Co, and I was instantly hooked. Get ready to see a lot of fun colour conversions on older charts from some of my favourite designers…just like Season of Growth by Little House Needleworks. Believe it or not, this design is 20 years old….timeless (in my opinion)!
I took a few creative liberties, mainly the colour conversion, but I also chose not to stitch the green within the blueberry baskets, giving those blueberries some breathing room since I was using such rich colours!
The original design was made into a pillow, and taking that lead I too decided it needed to be a pillow, one of my favourite ways to finish!
