My July Cross Stitch Camp project is finished and to say it was out of my comfort zone is an understatement.
The brief was to take a full colour chart and change at least two of them, to make it reflect yourself.
Up until now, I've never been brave enough to change more than the shade of a particular colour but with this, I jumped in with both feet and changed up everything!
I’ve changed the fabric to a Lavender colour and have used only three of the original called for thread colours.
I finished it as a pillow, edged with chenille trim. Happy Stitching!
