Over my head in Ocean fabric, that is! I’ve got Mirabilia’s Enchanted Mermaid all kitted up ready to go … except I can’t decide on the fabric to use! I had bought a plain Belfast Smokey Pearl piece especially for it, which is supposedly close to the recommended Wichelt Twilight Blue … but then I spied a piece of “Fathom” by Picture This Plus at the recent Stitches & Craft Show and picked a piece up especially for this Mermaid … however when I lay the flosses out on it, the fabric is more tealy green coloured, so now I can’t decide. To top things off I’ve just found a couple of Country Stitch fabrics that might work nicely. As this project has cost an arm and a leg in MH Treasures I want to get this one right (and I want to start stitching it relatively quickly)! 😉
Anyway, I used the online pattern/fabric viewer, and this is what the screen shots are like:
Belfast Smokey Pearl (left) and Picture This Plus Fathom (right)
(these two fabrics I already have in my stash
Country Stitch – Waterfall (left) and Ocean Blue (right)
As a matter of interest, which do you think looks best? Obviously I’d need to pick up swatches of the actual fabrics before I make the ‘ultimate’ decision, I guess, but I’d be interested in your thoughts 🙂
I’ll do a proper floss toss when I get chance …
