One thing that I noticed while I was walking through Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens today, is that early Spring is very subtle in coloration. Take this tree for example, it isn’t very exciting, but boy does it pack a punch. The pinks, lilacs, and mauves are very pretty, and I thought I’d try my hand at it. The thread scheme really does come out nicely!

For each of these thread scheme, or palettes, , I’ll include both an image showing how it was built (to the left), and a thread color schemes, with actual thread numbers, that you can print out. Feel free to save these cards, because you never know when you’ll need them.

Keep your eye out for more color schemes coming in the Simply Color series!

What part of color inspires you?

Happy stitchin’!
