ReplyDeleteI really love blues & greens, but usually will go with the design.
Hi Sheila, I love blues & greens too, in fact I've been getting different shades of blue and green flosses for a design I've got in mind. You are in for the draw, thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite colors are yellows and oranges - especially when the days get shorter and colder!
ReplyDeleteYes, Claudette, I know what you mean, looking out my window at some trees, shrubs and undergrowth in the forest that are shot through with yellows and oranges. I love the combination with some green alongside.
ReplyDeleteI love fall colours, reds,oranges,yellows, warm browns. But I also love greens with blues and purples. It is hard to choose sometimes. Thank you for the drawing.
ReplyDeletePatriotic colors are my first choices with autumn colors as a very close second. But the softer springtime colors are also very pretty. It's so hard to choose, because there are so many colors to choose from, that it's hard to pick just one set of colors! thanks for this drawing!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about liking lots of combinations and choosing colors has to be the hardest part of designing. Colors evoke such distinct emotions and in that respect they also accentuate the feelings you are trying to convey with a pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite colors have always been purples and blues. Now I have been tempted to branch out to reds and oranges and have been looking for a project I might like using those colors.
ReplyDeleteTry this again as I don't think my first comment went through. My favorite colors are anything in the purple family. That means I absolutely adore your ornament. Congratulations on making the JCS Christmas editions.
ReplyDeleteThanks TCF, the ornament was inspired one evening when the snow on the mountain tops deepened from pale violet to deepest purple as the sun was setting.
ReplyDeleteReds and oranges are wonderful together, Faith, their warmth is so inviting.
Thank you so much for a chance!!!! I absolutely adore your designs ...they are so beautiful and interesting to me. I want to stitch them ALL!! My favorite color is any shade of purple.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kimberly, I'm always happy when my designs strike a chord with someone :) I have to say purples seem to be the colors I gravitate to most, in fact I have to restrain myself at times and force myself to use other colors or all the patterns would be in shades of lavender or violet, lol
