I finally got my February Cottage of the Month done! (Now that it's almost the end of March, yikes!) I had it most of the way done but then I lost steam. I finished it up last night and as you will see I made a lot of changes in fact I'm not sure if I kept anything the same other than the design.
I stitched it on white 14 count Aida cloth and used the following DMC embroidery floss colors: brown/3031, green/3011, blue/3766, reds/816, 3831, pinks/601, 603, 605. I really like the way it turned out because it very much matches my February decor. Since I have already put away my February stuff, I didn't bother putting it in the frame and just put it away to use next year. After I finished up the February Cottage, I gathered up all the supplies for the March cottage!
I'm stitching March on a Natural colored Aida cloth. I did change a few of the floss colors this time too. I changed the Pale Yellow to DMC 3823 and I didn't want to use the Geranium color because I wanted more Yellow in the design so I changed it to DMC 3822. I also chose a little bit of a darker brown for the Pecan color and went with DMC 433. I'm really excited about getting March done and if I hurry and get it done before the end of the month then I'll be back on track!
