These wonderful snowflake patterns are from a wonderful newish book "A Rainbow of Stitches" by several French designers including Muriel Brunet.
The book has a wide variety of hand embroidery patterns as well as cross-stitch, all of which lend themselves to whatever colors you choose. As for my snowflakes, I think I'll also work some up in alternate colors for gifts. They stitch up pretty quickly. See the more traditional red on natural linen up there in the first photo? I'm also thinking silver or white on dark blue or gray could be wonderful, or any color on white...hard to go wrong!
This is a great post thanks
