cross-point color schemes for stitching
AUTUMN & EARLY WINTER

Autumn here in the Blue Ridge Mountains is a very special time. As I write this, nature is celebrating the end of summer with a bang – an explosion of colors – however brief. The riot of scarlet, pumpkin, orange, gold, bright yellow, chartreuse, deep red, bright green, dark green, blue green, and the clear true blue of the Autumn sky is truly memorable. Seeing these bright colors in my garden against the dark green of Arborvitae, Yews, Hollies, Magnolias and the blue green of Pines, makes me want to jump with joy, wishing it would last forever. My way to memorialize this fleeting moment? Design a collection of color related patterns for pillows, rugs, runners and coverlets for the cross-point kit collection.
