Where it looks great

• Use it as a practice piece for new stitches before a bigger project
• Stitch it onto a fabric panel for a tote, pillow front, or pouch

• Use tinted fabric to change the mood without changing thread colors.
• Switch the color palette to match your space—pastels, jewel tones, or neutrals all work.
