Life Is Better At The Beach Embroidery Project


The embroidery is all done on this project from my Beach House pattern set.

 I used seven different stitches.  

 The circle outline is Double Knot Stitch.   The starfish are Fishbone Stitch.  

The "life" text is a combination of Blanket Stitch, Back Stitch, Stem Stitch and a French Knot.

The text "is better at the" is also a combination of Back Stitch, Stem Stitch and a French Knot.
The "Beach" text is all Stem Stitch.  
The clam shell is outlined with Back Stitch and Stem Stitch.  The inside has French Knots and Straight Stitches: 

 The color palette for this project is so pretty!  I think the colors match some of the beautiful shades found in beach glass.

 I recorded all the details of this project for my Embroidery Journal:


Here are the floss color numbers:
