    Loved your entire video and the favorite is the color study. So interesting to see it done this way. Really showed how different. Now when I look at a pattern that draws me in I will watch more about cool vs warm that draws me in.

    Your video is just packed full of great ideas! Pie included! Yum! That thread caddy is such a find. What a beautiful prop for your super cute new chart. The pumpkins are my favorite. I think I am drawn to warm colors because they seem to have more of an antique vibe but you have me thinking…

    FALL. I'm a Virginia girl, born and raised and love the variety of colors this time of year. We lived in Thornton Colorado for 15 years as my husbands family is there. They were in Dillon, CO then moved to Westminster and some are in Longmont. I love when we visit in the fall as see the beautiful Aspen trees.

    Fall stitching is so fun. I’m more of a warm color stitcher. I like your ideas of changing warm colors to cool and about adding a pop of the opposite to a cool or warm palette! Good food for thought! Thanks for all you share!

  • @debrascarimbolo3556
    @debrascarimbolo3556 Рік тому

    So inspiring...never too long. Loved the points you made regarding color, especially the idea of a "pop" of color being the opposite of what most of the cross stitch piece is stitched with. I am definitely a warm color person.

    The video was full of wonderful items and ideas. The topic of colour and colour choice is very interesting as we all see and describe colours in different ways. It does not matter which craft you are pursuing many people have difficult seeing an item in other colours. This applies to cross stitch, knitting and quilting etc. 🇬🇧

    I loved your explanation about swapping colors that suit our liking. When I started stitching 2.5 years ago, I swore I could not change chart colors. I told myself I couldn't. But, jump into 2023, I find myself doing that when I have small charts. So far, if it has 5 or less, I don't have a problem picking my own colors. But you provided some great ideas. Thank you. And thank you for sharing about putting back felt efore doing single stitches. I would have never thought of that. Its a great idea. Thank you. I would love to stitch the fall chart. Very cute patter.

    Thank you for your perspective of cool and warm colors. I really liked how you showed the comparison between the flosses in the same color ways. Congratulations on your WIPS from the last century, so I feel there is still hope for me. I am drawn to the warm colors for stitching about 80% of the time. Each fall we visit the pumpkin farm near our home. I’m always amazed on a sunny day how cool the pumpkin fields look with the vibrant greens and oranges against the clear blue sky.

    What a great episode, Sheri! I always learn so much from you, and this episode about color was no exception. I’m primarily drawn to cool colors, but also like the warm Blackbird Designs color palette. And who doesn’t like a warm color fall stitch? Thanks for another wonderful FlossTube - and for including Oliver today. He’s a beauty!

  • @Kathleen_Theriault
    @Kathleen_Theriault Рік тому

    Definitely a cool colours person. It was interesting to see how colours we typical think of as cool or warm can have an opposite companion. The pops of warm or cool makes sense when you think of complementary colours on the colour wheel.

    • @ColoradoCrossStitcher
      @ColoradoCrossStitcher  Рік тому +1

      Someone else said that too, so I'm copying what I wrote to her. 🙂In general, blues and greens are certainly cooler than reds and oranges. But if you take a True Red (the one color everyone can wear) and add a touch of blue to it, it becomes a cool red. If you take the True Red and add a touch of yellow to it, it becomes a warm red. Same for all colors. The ones with blue hues added, become cool versions. The ones with yellow hues added become the warm versions. I think color analysis is fascinating! I trained with House of Colour and did color analysis for people for several years, and am coming at this more in terms of dimensional colors (floss, fabrics, clothes). If you google "House of Colour Color Wheel" you'll see more examples of the differences in warm and cool colors. The Autumns and Springs are warm, the Winters and Summers are cool. Going a bit deeper - the Autumns are warm muted colors and the Springs are warm clear colors. The Summers are cool muted colors and the Winters are cool clear colors. Anyway - it's fun to see the differences and apply it to stitching!

I am drawn to the cool tones but I currently have the warm tones throughout my home, so understanding the pops of opposite tones will benefit me greatly. Can’t wait to see what you have for us next time.

    Sheri, your discussion about warm and cool colors was very enlightening. Thank you! My preference is cool colors.
    In a future video, please let us know if "warm versus cool colors" is equivalent to "muted versus bright colors." If the concepts are not equivalent, please consider explaining how "muted versus bright colors" differ from "warm versus cool colors." Big smile!

    • @ColoradoCrossStitcher
      @ColoradoCrossStitcher  Рік тому

      Thank you for the suggestions! Muted vs Clear is not the same as Cool vs. Warm. I think of the muted colors as having just a touch of cream (cool or warm, depending on the season) added in. So - black coffee is clear, coffee with cream is muted. 🙂

    Fall is a great time to be stitching on a Plum Street design! Sit by a window, watch the Fall leaves floating down and creating another seasonal masterpiece!
