My plan for moving the boxes around so the bottom box is now at the top. Wording changed and where I plan-ish to put the colors.
These are the Sulky 12 wt colors I plan to use.
Shabby Winter Calendar was originally charted in DMC I am using instead Sulky 12 wt.
I am not using any of the the called for colors. Instead am using blues, reds, greens, browns, grays etc.. My plan is to kind of “paint as I go” though I did do up a rough sketch idea on where I would like to use what colors. I don’t have a straight across color conversion because I am not going to stitch it the exact way its charted color wise so it didn’t matter to me to try and match colors etc..
Blues: 1253, 1076, 1143, 1198, 1030, 1222, 1283, 1292

Note: Wording for winter was taken from Silent Night by Stitches Through The Years on Etsy. You can check out @paeonia_vi shop here https://linktr.ee/stitchesthroughtheyears
Note: I used DMC Diamant D317 and D5200 along with DMC Diamant Grande G415 for assorted finishing stitches. I also used Coat & Clarks Transparent thread to help hold some finishing stitching in place.
