▪︎ Chart – Spring In The City by Crocette a gogò @ricamidimarula that I purchased on Etsy here https://www.etsy.com/listing/959738250/pdf-file-digital-chart-spring-in-the
You can read the full story, of Spring In The City-ville with Annie Bell and Elmer, that I wrote along while I was stitching this here http://mousepotatodesigns.com/spring-in-the-city-ville-story/
▪︎ Floss – I usedthe called for colors except I added DMC 211 to the colors for the flowers. I also added S5200 to add some shine to some of the “glass-ish” areas and birds wings etc. I had to change the blue 3761 to 3766 to make it pop better on the fabric. I should have done this before but oh well.
▪︎ Fabric – 18 ct aida that I dyed myself with a mix of RIT Denim Blue and Aquamarine dye colors to look like sky and clouds. I stitched it 2 over 1.
▪︎ Plan For Fully Finishing – I repurposed a Goodwill frame that I cut to size and painted.
▪︎ Notes – The french knots/bows are not called for at all in this chart. I have just taken off with it to add as much texture as I can to this whole thing before I am done.
