Stitched Example.

It was not until today that I realized that I never got around to sharing the colors and stitches that I used for the second (of two) examples that I stitched up for my Days of the Week Bunting Embroidery Pattern pack. And I thought, better late than never, right? 

I showed you what stitches and colors I used for the Tuesday bunting (below) here in THIS post.




And now, let me tell you a bit about the Friday Bunting example that I stitched up. 





Quite honestly I do not think I would have come up with this color combination on my own ... mixing the sort of mustard color with the red and coral pink it not something I would have thought of.  I give credit to Denyse Schmidt for this color palette, because her fabric from her "DS Quilts" collection is what inspired me.  I tried to match the floss to the colors used in this fabric collection. 


Here are the DMC colors that I used ...






I really love the way that the colors all went together.  I ended up using some seed beads and sequins as well ...








Want to know what stitches I used?






And that is it! If you want to pick up this pattern pack, it is available HERE, and don't forget I have two free matching patterns available HERE and HERE
