Love this background. Is this all one plaid or a mixture? Hard to pin it down in the photo.
ReplyDeleteLaurie, I love it! The colors are wonderful. Someone is going to be very happy with it!
ReplyDeleteThe textures show off very nicely in this piece. Whoever will receive it is going to love it.
ReplyDeleteMorning Ladies, Thanks so much for your kind comments! Yes, I think my client will be pleased...it looks so nice on my table...I kind of hate to part with it...but it was fun to hook...so I'll add it to the never ending to-do list!
ReplyDeleteCindi...the background is a mix of 4 or 5 textures all dyed in the same pot. The darkest value is a fun stripe that was dyed in the same formula to a darker value...it's what I hooked the border with, too. This is my favorite way of hooking backgrounds.
Beautiful color palette you used - I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin' this. I agree the background and palette are just lovely. -Melanie
