Chanson De Noel fabric color
I ordered this cutie and would love to start her soon. However, neither the supply list nor the pattern itself gives a fabric color suggestion. I want to use 16 count Aida and thought “touch of grey” (out of stock) or “pewter.” I like the gray that’s pictured. Any suggestions?

Pewter looks close. So does Twilight Blue. It's hard to tell on monitors sometimes. Pretty project!

ECS is closed for the holiday weekend. Kristi will post the needed supplies and fabric suggestions when she returns on Tuesday.

I do like the grey also. I hope that you can get a fabric close to that color. Love the pattern. Pam

Unfortunately ECS doesn’t have a good variety of fabrics. I love them dearly,
but true. 123stitch.com is where I go go fabric.

123stitch.com is also where I go for fabric. A wide selection to choose from. I use my phone to take pictures of possible fabrics as there are so many to choose from. It's a way for me to shop by having a 'photo line-up'. And delivery is prompt.

Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions! I will respectfully wait for Kristi to reply tomorrow. But in the meantime I went to the 123 site and... oh boy... started another wishlist! (I’m over 20 on my ECS one.) I rediscovered cross-stitching in January after years away and now I’m obsessed again. (Only now I can stitch without two sweet little girls wanting to “help.” They are all grown up and have NO interest.) Since I am new to this message board, I apologize in advance for asking repeat questions or starting tired conversations. 😬 Thanks again!

I’m sure I’ve seen a sparkly grey but if not Charles Craft has a platinum that would work. For a cute one like this, I might use DMC gold dusted which is also sparkly.

Hello,

The pattern states "Stitchers choice" so that's probably why a fabric suggestion was never listed for this in our supply listing. I checked with what we have and the 32ct. Twilight Blue Linen matches the closest to what the pattern shows so I have that listed on the supply listing now. The other suggestions from the other posters were great as well! Thanks :)

Thanks for all the suggestions! I’m intrigued by “sparkly”!
