just by going on the picture how about Polstitches Toffee Popiscle or Polstitches Peaches and Cream or Polstitches Whisper. I havent checked anywhere else yet
OMG !!!!! now im really stuck the colours are stunning !!! now i really need a hand to choose : ...
These are great colors and I can see your dilemma! If you dont mind stitching on something kind of dark, I think any of the ones with grey would look really nice. I think the warm colors would really stand out against a dark background...maybe Dusk by PTP. If you like warmer background, maybe Earthen. This is one of those neutral colors, PTP describes it as light terracotta but to me (I have a piece) it is more like a color I would use for a historical sampler because I think it looks like old discolored fabric. I know that doesnt sound pretty but it really is a beautiful color that goes well with many designs where you want something darker than white, but not dark at all, but has an aged look.
If you prefer some blues instead so its not so dark to stitch on, maybe Dwarf, but a really dark blue that is nice is Gothic. And these are just PTP suggestions! Hard to choose just one, but hope this gives you more to consider. :)
Outside links arent allowed but I think you should google Handmade by Nina:D Her fabric and threads are gorgeous. Her base fabric is Zweigart, which I love. Most of the time I love and order neutrals but she has lots of colors.
Well ...... i bit the bullet and made my choice ... i wanted toffee popsicle but in the end decided to go for the slightly paler option english rose, bought my threads and my treasure braid metallics (all from sew and so.co.uk) .. im going to do a bit more on a wedding design im working on then next week im going to make a start on fire dancer !!!
i may even start a WIP post with updates on here :-)
wow!!! i never realised it had been that long :-) it took me about 2 years to complete - i finished it last year, mainly because i had completely lost my stitchy bug for about 12 months. but she finally got finished and framed and delivered so i was very happy :D sorry i never got round to posting any pictures here but she did look stunning :-) xxx
