fabric stash

Whilst looking for fabric for my ABC Crewel Sampler I happened to stumble upon some fabric sales...

Combined with a few pieces I picked up last month I now have quite stash!  Most are fat quarters and a few are metre lengths.

I have just seen my last post on a different monitor and it seems the brown one is a better match...

I think I need a second (real life) opinion.... and I'll just pick the one that looks good - whether it matches the original or not!

I've decided the fabric I had for this sampler was too gold.  I'm now torn between two other fabrics... one a more definite brown, the other more yellow...

gold

brown

yellow

  I think the yellow one matches the original colour best....

Materials have arrived for this project!

bit concerned the fabric isn't mustard enough...

colour wheel

I love colour wheels.

Each arty/crafty course I've ever done always starts with colour theory and ideas to create colour wheels. 

This idea, by that artist woman, is a new one to me and really appeals... since I like sketchbooks, project books, colour wheels, reference guides and all in one kits!
