I finished stitching Cheerful Company yesterday--what a quick and fun stitch it was! I used some antique white linen (much whiter than the photo shows) with 2 strands of DMC floss. Some colors are those listed on the chart conversion, others are just what I had on hand.
I did make a few changes to the design--I made an alteration to the flowers because I messed up on one and didn't want to frog, and I stitched the basket in 2 colors trying to give it a bit of a woven look.
I'm planning to mount this on the top of a wooden box--just as soon as I find the right box--painted to match the purple I used for the date.
Now, what should my next Jane Austen project be?
