Twelve Days Color Guides

From the beginning of the series, I worked with Benzie Design to personally select their lovely wool-blend felts to create six whimsical, bright ornament palettes for my Twelve Days Ornament Series. Each palette covers two Twelve Days patterns.

You can combine all six palettes together for a cheerful hodge podge set, OR focus on one palette and use my existing samples as inspiration to complete your set in the same colors. For a quick visual overview of all the samples, here’s my Benzie Pinterest board.

Looking for a master list of all the decorative (not matching) DMC colors used in the series? That’s all the way at the bottom of this post. 

COLOR GUIDES FOR BUNDLE 1:
