my go-to color palette

Happy Wednesday! Today I thought I'd share my go-to color palette for cross stitch! I love bright, spring colors and frequently substitute called-for colors with some variation of the pic below.

Aren't those yummy?!

The first time I used them was in the 2021 stitch-along from Fat Quarter Shop. I couldn't resist stitching up Lori Holt's Flea Market Flowers! You can purchase a pattern HERE.

(haha I still need to iron and finish this big guy!) This is white 14 count aida.

I also added a yellow butterfly in honor of my mom. She passed away in 2019 and in the weeks following, I saw sooooo many yellow swallowtail butterflies! 

A little heart and my initials in the top right and done!

But my favorite change was making a :) in the face of one of the flowers.

Such a fun project!

And these are the same colors I am using for Jeanette Douglas' free mini bouquet SAL that I shared HERE.

Thanks for stopping by! God loves you!
