I've admired this for a long, long time & finally bit the bullet & purchased the chart. I would have purchased the recommended threads as well, but when I looked at the skeins I had in my stash, I was pleased with the Blue Spruce but not with the Currant. If you are stitching or have stitched this, could you tell me if you've chosen other red & green threads to use, & if so, which ones you have chosen? Thanks : )

Oh my! I have not seen you stitch anything so big. It is awesome!
It is beautiful and you are an ambitious lady. I have not seen this before but do like the idea of using just one color.
Keep warm...
Peace to all,
Barb
It is beautiful...I am sure you will find just the right colors to stitch with.
What a marvelous piece!! I have not seen it before, but would love to try my hand at it, too! Hoping you hear from others who have done it in different colors. Sorry I couldn't be helpful to you myself, but TFS the piece with us!!
I have admired this for quite some time! It is so gorgeous and I can't wait to see yours! I'm a church musician, so I think this would be perfect for me!! I may have to bite the same bullet you did! HA
I have no idea about the colors....but I'm sure whatever you pick will be lovely.
It is one I have admired but never bought. I also really like the Autumn Sampler of theirs but have yet to succumb to temptation! I will look forward to seeing your progress. xx
I have this one in my to do pile but haven't picked colors yet.
I am stitching it on 'Spring' linen and using needlepoint silk 'chinese red range' for the motifs and 'palomino gold range' for the words.
I am stitching this! I don't have a good progress picture, because I've only stitched with the red color so far, but in this post is a picture of the two flosses: http://lottloft.blogspot.com/2014/09/theme-licious-october-is.html.
I changed both the colors to silks because I am stitching it over one! So I'm afraid that doesn't really help with your color selection. =( The red is Cranberry Belle Soie, and the green is a Gloriana, but I can't remember the color. I just told Drema at Needlecraft Corner to pick out one that would work!!
HI Shirlee, yes, I am stitching this, too, it is one of my very long term WIPs. I am afraid that I am boring and stuck with the original colours. Have fun with this, it is so gorgeous!
Ooo - I love that chart every time I see it! Have fun stitching it!
WOW - Beautiful! I was so surprised to see you selected this larger project! Good for YOU! It's going to be gorgeous Shirlee.
I hope you get some great colors suggestions to help you.
Love Annette
It's a lovely design, enjoy!
