Colour Schemes For Embroidery

Hello everyone

Hope you have had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the weekend and some precious stitching time?  Spring has arrived here in Cape Town, the wild flowers are out in profusion and I would like to celebrate the season with colour.  The booklet Traditional Embroidery Colour Schemes is now available for the first time as a digital download.  You can purchase the printed version of the booklet here and the digital version here.  in the Etsy store.

The booklet includes 24 colour schemes based on traditional images/artwork plus the embroidery thread palettes to go with each.  There are some stitched examples and the tracing outlines are provided for each example.  The colour schemes can be used for embroidery, quilting, artwork, sewing, knitting etc.

To celebrate the season and to thank you my readers,  I have made one of the colour schemes in the book available as a free download.  You can access it here COLOUR SCHEME DOWNLOAD or by clicking on the picture below.   I have personally used a version of this scheme in one of my whitework projects for the new book and it is stunning, so have fun with it!

Meantime wherever you are in the world remember “Embroidery forever, housework whenever!”  Keep smiling and happy stitching!  Trish
