I won these fabrics in a give away on her blog and have been wondering how to use them. I'm a little concerned that the orange may be a bit pale.
What do you folks think? Click on the pic for a larger image.
Moya will be calling round next week, I'll ask her opinion too.And just a quick close up on the bears, I did start working with some other colours, but some of them are so pale, they may as well be white! LOL
In the end rather than stop working with white entirely I figured I'd be better off working turn about, 2 lengths of coloured thread and two lengths of white. So as well as filling in some of the polar bears features the panda has grown a bit too.
I'm on late shifts for the next two days, so hope to get plenty more done to this.
I'm off to pick up my needle.

You've managed to get quite a bit done. I do like the green fabric with this, just the right shade
I think the fabrics are great with your project. It's so darn cute! Can't wait to see it finished.
it looks wonderful together Loulee! The crossstitch is coming along so nicely!
I think the fabric is perfect..you don't want anything to take away from the picture! ...You are just flying along with it now!! You will be a bit lost when it is finished! LOL
I love the fabrics, I really need to see it, but perhaps a thin first border of plain brightish orange could frame it a little before you added them. But then it will probably look just stunning unframed....I really need to lay the thin border down next to them and think a lot...can't do that by internet! Tracey
Love ur sweet blog. hugs. niki
I think they look terrific with your xstitch. You don't want the fabrics taking away from the desing you've spent so many hours stitching.
