Arizona Embroidery Pattern Project - Part Two


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.

  1. 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.
