Here is one of the benches with the other items selected for the main floor of the mill. The stain, the settee and the foxes all have yellow/red tones, and the blue cast in the bargello was not working at all. I chose new colors in a grey/brown combination. The darkest brown will be the lattice and the others the “diamonds” inside. I think it will work much better than the blue/greens I had and should be a more subtle pattern as well.
The one on the left took 5 hours and the one on the right took 4.25 hours, just like the first time around. It must just take more time to plot the first one, whereas you can just copy for the second one. The 40 count linen was rough in a couple of places for the second one, so it might look a little threadbare in spots once done. It will just make it look old, so I’m not worried about it enough to redo it.
The colors go much better with the settee and rug. :] Now I just need to make the new benches.
