Ready to get stitchy?  Mollie, our needlework queen, has the first of a 3-part series to help us Celebrate Color this fall.  Mollie's floss palettes are always a treat for the eyes.  In today's post she shares 5 floss groupings complete with DMC reference numbers to make our shopping easy.  (Aha, I guess I should have been writing those little numbers on the edge of my floss cards...) 

In October Mollie will share free embroidery patterns to accompany these palettes and in November some projects to show them off!

Here's my favorite palette, named Leaves on the Sidewalk:


See the rest at Wild Olive.  I'm actually off to the fabric store today for some notions, so I'll grab these too!  Don't you wish that fabric were as cheap as embroidery floss?!?!  In my dreams.

Want to learn how to embroider?  Check out Molllie's Embroidery Basics series.  Embroidery is not hard so long as you accept that your stitches don't have to be perfect.  Cause they don't! Just go at it and have fun.  Every stitch is easily removed, and a lot less painfully than with knitting or machine sewing. 

Hoping to see your needlework projects popping up in the contest pool soon!  Thanks to your hard work, our Yarn pool is looking good.  This weekend I'm going to treat myself to a visit to everyone of your blogs.  Happy Weekend!
