March 2013 Pattern of the Month "Be Happy Today"

Stoney Creek's popular Pattern of the Month wraps up a series with the March 2013 design "Be Happy Today." 

We stitched this as a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" design by itself on 28ct clay cashel over 2 threads and framed it in a 5x5 Dream Butterfly button frame from Stoney Creek, and also stitched all six designs of this series together and have it framed in a black 5" x 25" frame. If stitching on 14ct we like the looks of Dirty Aida. The design is embellished (optional) with a gold butterfly charm and a three handmade Happy Flowers buttons. In addition to standard embroidery floss (see master color list below for all six patterns) this design uses Glissen Gloss Rainbow Blending Thread 605 Brick, *Weeks Dye Works 2226 Carrot (DMC 2226 sub), Weeks Dye Works 1108 Honeysuckle (DMC 3855 sub),  Weeks Dye Works 2239 Terra Cotta (DMC 2239 sub) and Caron Waterlilies 139 Kelp. Caron Waterlilies 139 Kelp is used throughout the series and one skein should be suitable for stitching all six designs.

*Weeks Dye Works 2226 Carrot has not been used in this series until now.
