I have an update to share from my Arizona embroidery project. You may remember from my last post, I was starting to stitch the prickly pear or paddle cactus. I had selected this green floss - DMC no. 986
but I felt that it was too dark and vibrant to go with the rest of the colors. I switched to DMC no. 368 which is a sage green. Much better! It gives a more "sun baked" look.
Next color decision is for the cactus flowers...I like these colors:
But they need to look good with the orange floss I used for the Arizona text!
When I have the color decisions made and the rest of the stitching completed, I will post with all my floss numbers and stitching information.
You made the right choice, Kim. That first green was too dark. The color you decided on is perfect. I love the look of the cactus.
