Peach and Blue FINISHED

Here is Peach & Blue on it's box.  I found the perfect Mill Hill Glass Seed Beads & got them on yesterday.  I added a few more than called for, specifically in the very center.  This pretty box goes to it's intended recipient this afternoon! 

Peach and Blue by June Moes

Here we are in our Reno house!  Christmas is fast approaching & I just finished this last night - it is the last of the stitched gifts.  Yay!!  It still needs a few beads,but if I can't get them in time it will be fine without the beads.  This will be a top for a brown Betsy Box.

This is a Rainbow Gallery freebie by June Moes, called "Peach and Blue".  Well, I changed everything!  Not just the colors this time.  I used Leventine Blue canvas (instead of white) and changed all the threads & colors, AND "adjusted" a few of the stitches!  But I was able to stitch this completely from stash!

I used 2 Watercolours 018 and 189 (instead of Bravo), Frosty Rays Y045 (instead of Flair), #8 perle 3560 & 807(instead of Pebbly Perle), and #8 Kreinik 273 which wasn't called for at all.  Because my threads are mostly heavier than those that were called for, I had to make some adjustments to some of the stitches.  The biggest change was to the outer border, The design called for alternating  the Scotch stitches with a cross stitch variation.  I didn't care for the way it looked, so I just did alternating Scotches instead.  I really like the way it looks that way!
