This was a fun stitch; which is a strange thing to say since it took me so long to finish. I started it and chose these colors because my brother and his wife had just redecorated their bedroom and it would match perfectly. This piece was released in parts and the first 4 sections were the gardens in the center. Funny thing is, had I stuck with the chart, the house would have ended up being pink, the same as my brother's. The marriage broke up though, so I put the project away. When I pulled it out a few months ago to look at it, I thought I would change the house to a soft yellow to match my current house. I do have green trim (with purple too - not my choice!) but not green windows!
Anyway, now that it's done, I like it! I'm going to get it framed - someday - and display it on the rail in the dining room. Darn, that to-be-framed pile is growing!
Next up - I really don't know. I'm considering stitching another Peter Plaidtail designed by my friend Leah. I've stitched it once using the suggested colors, but might try it this time in blues and yellows. Or I could always start another LHN...
