I've been finding some really nice vintage transfers on Ebay and Etsy and have been enjoying turning them into embroideries like this one. I used traditional DMC vareigated colors on this embroidery and the next one, trying to keep with a vintage look.
But for the next one I decided to use a more modern color scheme and I used newer brands of threads; Cosmos Seasons and DMC Color Variations.
Even though I love the vintage look, I do love the colors on this embroidery, too.
I got what was supposed to be a kit for a stamped cross stitch sampler, but it looked like it was going to stamp onto the fabric in a wonky way. So I decided to do it in a counted way, which was kind of a challenge because the chart that was included was meant just as a guide to the colors and was a bit wonky itself. I also changed most of the colors to vareigated DMC ones, I felt that they made it look more interesting and it was definitely more fun to stitch.
I will leave you with a picture of three of the kitties, Pepper, Tigger and Sarah relaxing on the couch. Thank you so much for visiting!
