August Twilight

This piece is inspired by my childhood memories of summer. Is there anything more magical than catching lightning bugs in a mason jar or watching a hummingbird zip by during the long days of summer break as a child? To me, the quintessential taste of summer is the yellow tomatoes my grandpa would grow in his garden, which is why the tomatoes in this pattern are charted in yellow, but I included a red option (DMC 321) in the pattern legend if that is more your speed. This design stitched mostly in DMC with 1 specialty floss. The pattern is 120x119 stitches, and is a total of 5,504 stitches

DMC flosses: 340, 35, 415, 991, 797, 823, 3706, 726, 906, 911, 12, 27, 954

Colour & Cotton: Coming up Roses

The model is stitched on 32 count Havana linen by Weeks Dye Works.
