The fabric started out cream and I used pink Dylon, randomly, to create an aged effect. The Wildflowers thread is Rainforest, no. 168 and I think it is my favourite from their palette as there are a lot of short changes in pretty muted colours.

Souvenir de France 1889
My latest make in this Souvenir de France lavender sachet. The chart is a freebie from Black Bird Designs and I used Caron Wildflowers thread on 32 count evenweave that I dyed myself.

So, so pretty, Shirley! You're right, that thread choice is perfect for the piece :) Who knows, some day, I may actually see the real Eiffel Tower!

What a beautiful lil sachet. It's been a while since I've worked on any needle point/cross stitch. Love your blog. Looking forward to following it.
ReplyDeleteI come to you thanks to your comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt is true it is a great idea to have finished your embroidery as you have done.
Have a nice week-end
