Well, as I\u2019ve been stitching Cheerful Bouquet I\u2019ve been wondering what about it is *not quite right.* I compared my stitching to the cover photo, the reason I bought it\u2026and the darker pink that was supplied in the kit is NOT that lovely contrasting light red in the photo. So oh dear, I am going to fix it. I will just not be happy with this long term as a pastel bouquet. Here it is with the new color starting to go in\u2026looking just about perfect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the photo it isn\u2019t a huge difference but in real life the darker color just pops so much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking through my silk stash, the winning color was Potters Clay from Silk N Colors. Honestly there was not a lot of this to pick out but I have to do it carefully in order preserve the other stitches. I have gotten it half done in an afternoon and am already much better pleased with the look. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
