I used the back stitch as a filling stitch. I really like the way this stitch worked as a fill:
I used three strands of cotton floss {DMC #321} and everywhere you see gold glints, I added a few strands of gold blending filament {Kreinik Metallics #002HL}. Now I have two more words to transfer and stitch - Peace and Noel. I am trying to decide if I want to do all three in the red/gold or maybe each one in a different color combination. Wouldn't these make a nice set of pillows for Christmas?

Hi janice15 - Welcome - I am so glad you found my blog :) Thank you - have a lovely week!
Kim, this is very beautiful and would make great cushions or would be great at the ends of a table runner. Very nice. I adore that gold filament peeking through.
I found some iridescent filament at the fabric store, but it was madness trying to get to it. Our local Joann fabric store is moving to a larger space so everything has been discounted majorly, so people have been go crazy buying them out. It's mayhem.
As soon as I can get some, I hope to test it out as you have here.
Absolutely gorgeous Kim!
Kristen - You will love it! The iridescent is so nice because it makes everything sparkly and goes with any other colors you are using. It is my favorite for sure. Lol - the Joann store I usually shop at recently renovated and it is sooo much nicer and easier to shop!
:) Thank you Jeanette
