"Fall" Embroidery Finished...

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings "Fall Pillow" Design

 My needlework on the Fall Pillow design from Primitive Gatherings is finished.
 

Brynwood Needleworks - Edging Thread Used on "Fall Pillow" Design

 

You'll notice that I changed the border around the white wool. Rather than using Valdani, I chose a beautiful overdyed thread called "Wildflowers" from The Caron Collection. The color shade is #062 Burnt Toast. I love this thread color. It picked up every color used in the Valdani palette I used in the design, and then added a few lighter versions.

Brynwood Needleworks - "Fall Pillow" Finish

I changed the stitch design for the border, making mine just a little more intricate. I also changed the color for the "Fall" lettering overall , choosing a Valdani (M90) rather than black. I'm very happy with the result.

I'll turn the finished design into a pillow this weekend. I'm going out for a ride with Handsome and the dogs today. I think a little fresh air will do me good.

Happy Friday, friends.

So Far, So Good...

Brynwood Needleworks - Fall Pillow Detail

 I embroidered yesterday!!

I have more to do before this is complete, but I got quite a bit finished. Here's what's left for now...I need to stitch down the leaf on the far left end of the vine, and finish the veining on it. I need to finish the added scroll stitching on the "Fall" wording, and then I'll be able to attach it to the checked pillow fabric and sew it all together.

I love the autumnal colors, the checkered pillow fabric, and the entire design. I can't wait to finish stitching the design so I can put it all together. I'll be working on it again today, and hope to finish it by the end of the day.
