Beach House Welcome Sign Project - Part One

I have a work in progress to share!  Actually, several: 

This Welcome motif is from my Beach House embroidery pattern set.  I just finished stitching this in a sea-green and camel color palette.  I still need to rinse out my transfer marks:

Next, I am going to stitch this in a red/white/blue/gray palette 

and finally an ocean blue/pink/coral palette:

I am looking forward to seeing which color palette I like the best!  Do you think I should use the same stitches on all three?...still deciding.  

I will post my progress and when completed I will share the floss color numbers and stitch information.

Chili Pepper Embroidery Project Details

I have some project details to share.  These two embroideries are from the Chili Peppers embroidery pattern set that I shared about on a previous post.

For the Chili Peppers, I used Back Stitch for most of the peppers, stems and lettering. To dot each "i" in chili, I used French Knots .  For the big yellow/green chili in the center, I used Lazy Daisy Stitch and Straight Stitch to make the stem:

For the chili pepper plant, I used Fish Bone Stitch for all the leaves, Straight Stitch for the peppers and Stem Stitch for the stems:

Here is the color palette for both of these projects:

Chili Peppers Embroidery Pattern

Chili Peppers is the new hand embroidery pattern available in my Etsy shop.

  

I received a lot of drawing inspiration from this cookbook:

This is what the embroidery pattern set looks like:

I am enjoying stitching up the sample pictures!
