Toned Down Circle Samplerpatroon van Sue Spargo Folk-Art Quilts

I worried the embroidery would look flat in just one color, but switching between Perle Cottons #8 and #5 gives each circle real texture and depth. Stitching the Razzle thread over the #3 adds a subtle shimmer that's impossible to capture in photos.

The monochromatic palette with that "modern pop" is exactly what pulled me in, and the way the pattern layers Perle Cottons from #8 down to Razzle is such a clever way to build texture. It's my first real dive into embroidery for depth, and the circle layout keeps it manageable even when I'm stitchi

The way the pattern calls for mixing Perle Cotton sizes #8, 5, and 3 really lets you build up texture on a single block. I’ve already started stitching the circle motifs and love how the different thread weights catch the light.
