CHOOSING COLORS FOR YOUR CENTERPIECE
Since this collection takes its inspiration from more traditional and heirloom
techniques, we chose to stick with the muted and dusty color palette often seen in
vintage quilting and embroidery designs. Choose fabrics that will stand the test of
time, then simply find a complimentary tonal thread for all the embroidery details.
FABRICS
Be sure to choose durable fabrics for
your new heirloom piece. We decided
on tight-woven linens in soft, dusty tones
to create our centerpiece.
THREADS
Just as with the fabric, pick threads that
compliment rather than compete. To
prevent distracting from the beautiful stitch
and cutwork designs, we selected threads
that accent the overall color scheme.
NOTIONS
You can’t get crafty without your
trusted tools of the trade! Keep a rotary
cutter, straight edge ruler, embroidery
scissors, and tape handy for piecing
together this unique project.
