Clarification and Floss Toss

I have not started "Give". The WIP picture I posted yesterday of "Give" by Plum Street Samplers was not my work. I saw this pic on a cross stitch message board last year sometime and I loved the conversion, so I saved the picture to remind me of how I wanted mine to look. The stitcher stitched her piece on Autumn Splendor fabric from Sassy's Fabrics.

Here's my fabric and floss combination for "Give". It's a bit more yellow than the picture of the person's WIP I posted yesterday. However, the fibers still look great on it! (If I do say so myself! LOL)


32 ct. Chalice from Picture This Plus with Belle Soie silks from Crescent Colours

Conversion:
Attic Tea~vines
Fawn~dark on birds (wings) and larger nuts
Mudpie~smaller nuts
Pumpkin Carriage~light part on the birds (bodies)
Lasagne~flowers
Tortoise Shell~urn

I do believe this is going to be my next incentive piece!
