I finished stitching my welcome motif from the Home Sweet Home embroidery pattern.
I used a variety of stitches. Stem Stitch, Double Knot Stitch, French Knots, Lazy Daisy Stitch, Long and Short Stitch and of course, Back Stitch:
Oh and I almost forgot - the Fishbone Stitch! I used that for the biggest purple and blue flowers:
You might remember when I started this project I had quite the color palette planned.
As it turned out, I did the majority of the project using these beautiful colors:
and didn't use any of the black, gray or charcoal!
I think there is a nice balanced combination of colors and nothing stands out too much:
Here are the floss numbers of the colors I used:

Hi Silvia - Thank you! I love these too especially the greens :)
Ana - Thanks! I hope you also have a fabulous day
Kim,
It's so lovely, just beautiful. I love how the different texture of the stitches plays across the fabric. Although all the colors are pretty, I think the pop of pink is my favorite. Fabulous job!
Hi Darlene, Thanks! I love the pink too - this was an interesting palette :)
