Cross Stitch #52 - Celtic Autumn in Detail

Celtic Autumn is now finished! In this video I show close ups of the design and discuss the colour conversion I used. See below for more detailed information on this.
This colour conversion was obtained from Janet Granger's blog, and I give her full credit, and my heartfelt thanks, for sharing the details (which I believe she obtained from the Celtic Ladies Forum). I have added links to both Janet's blog and the Forum, as well as given full details of the colour conversion used.
Janet Granger's blog post: janetgranger.w...
The leaves chart (not included on original L&L chart) was obtained from the Lavender and Lace Cross Stitch Group. It is listed under the Files section and the author is Jennifer Janney. I changed the colours of the leaves to:
920, 783, 300, 611, 319
Lavender & Lace Facebook Group: / 165322413647754
Celtic Ladies Forum: lavenderandlace...
Colour Conversion:
All symbols remain the same - you just simply swap out the original colours for the Autumn conversion. I advise changing the colour key to avoid any confusion when stitching.

[@ed34n19]

Lovely conversion! Beautiful finish, Carolyn. I sure will consider stitching this project just like yours. Thanks for sharing such a clear tutorial guide. Love all of your flosstube videos. Waiting for more from you.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Rodolfo Urbano Thank you so much - I'm so glad you liked it :) x

[@sajacrone6621]

she is lovely and the colors really do look more Autum. I would have had a complete meltdown about the beads but you worked it out beautifully. congratulations and thank you for sharing...I know I will remember this when my next cross stitch crisis pops up

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Saja Crone Thank you so much! The beauty of filming... all the meltdowns happen off camera lol! Trust me when I say panic did set in, but thankfully it worked out in the end! Thank you for watching and happy stitching :) x

[@charj57]

That is so beautiful and I love the falling leaves also❤️🍁🍂🍁❤️

[@nicolarooney7938]

Such a great finish. I love the richness of the Autumn colours :)

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Nicola Rooney Thank you - I'm so happy with how she turned out, and I'm really looking forward to starting the next one. :) x

[@nicolarooney7938]

Which one will be next? Will it be original or converted colours? :)

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

Nicola Rooney Next is my Mum's Mirabilia (Roses of Provence). I decided to alternate between the L&L Celtic Ladies and Mira Ladies, because the Celtic Ladies are very similar in their layout and I didn't want to get bored with them. The next L&L lady will be either Summer (converted), Winter (converted with a hood - if I can get hold of the chart) or Christmas (original). I'll wait and see which one calls to me first :) x

[@deko2485]

Carolyn -= I miss your cross stitch videos. I just re-watched this one for about the 7th time. Your technique, voice, attention to detail, and of course your stitching is top notch. Wish you would do more TIAG. Hope you are well and enjoying your new life.

This popped up on my feed today. This is a very beautiful piece. The details and changes are stunning.

[@Queenstreetcrochet]

Amazing job, Carolyn. She truly is stunning! And your stitches are perfect and so neat! Congrats again on another finish!

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Tina Healey Thanks so much Tina! I noticed watching the video back that a couple of beads were off centred, but after a wash everything should be in it's right place :) Take care and happy stitching :) x

That is absolutely stunning

[@stitchingaddict]

Its gorgeous! I was looking forward to seeing the finished project. I think I will be purchasing these designs to try as well.

[@stitchingaddict]

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Simply in stitches Thank you so much :) x

[@inglesideimaginarium]

I LOVED getting to see this beautiful lady up close. She is so very Autumnal. The conversion is just so gorgeous... the way the greens play off the orangey browns and her ginger hair... I mean, I'm not biased or anything! Hehe. Wonderful wonderful job. I didn't realize she was as sparkly and beady as she is from your pictures. Seeing her on video definitely makes a difference! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+BlimeyCatStitches Thanks so much Brittany! There is something so special about Autumn, and I'm glad I can say I now own a piece that reflects the season properly. Just like Mirabilia designs, the Lavender & Lace photos don't do them any justice. And I think this particular lady will always remind me of you, with your beautiful matching hair :) Take care and happy stitching :) x

[@chriscrossstitcher2593]

Gorgeous finish! I absolutely love this conversion!

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

[@emilyc325]

She's gorgeous Carolyn! You can't tell the bead difference unless it's pointed out. Stunning. Makes me want to try beading, which I will once I get my first Mirabilia going. Feels like a rite of passage. Although I think I'm going to try my hand at it on my current piece and replace french knots with beads.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Emily C (eclecticpossessions) Oooh I love beading Emily... there's something so addictive about adding them to the blank spaces around the stitches! I'm sure you'll love it too. Quite often I too replace french knots with beads, purely because I just need to do some beading :) Thanks for watching and happy stitching :) x

[@DarlingBluebell]

Ohhh I'm in love. She is SO, SO gorgeous! Thank you for allowing us this detailed look. What a great video.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Darling Bluebell Thank you so much! I'm so glad she's finished. Now I'll have to decide which one to do next (after my Mirabilia for Mum). Take care and happy stitching :) x

[@AmybethMcKee]

She's beautiful, Carolyn! She sure does sparkle!!! :) Well done on such a gorgeous finish!

[@annettenavarro8787]

Hi I'm Annette (California Stitcher). I learned of your videos from your IG. OH MY GOODNESS! Congrats on your stunning Celtic Autumn. To make a very long story short - my son had heard me listening to you and asked to see what I was looking at. He saw your gorgeous Celtic Autumn and now wants me to stitch it - lol! So my chart is on its way to me and I will be stitching it in the conversion you did. Thank you so much for sharing and this video was sooo helpful and enabling - LOL! love Annette

[@ladybirdstitcher4200]

She looks amazing and you stitched it up really quickly (30 days is pretty quick in my book). Congratulations on a beautiful finish.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Ladybird Stitcher Thank you very much! I thought it was fairly quick too, until I read Janet's blog haha. I put the extra time down to the 1 over 1 skin and leaves stitching.... totally forgot about that when I was filming lol.

[@TheRetrogirl369]

Love your conversions

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+TheRetrogirl369 Thank you very much! :) x

[@theevergreenneedle]

Great video! I love seeing these celtic ladies up close and personal! I just ripped out the blues in mine last night and am working on redoing a section of her dress. A labor of love, but they are worth it in the end!

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+the evergreen needle Thank you so much! I hope to do more detailed videos of the other ladies and my Mirabilia designs in the future - there just always seems to be so much interest in them. And it's so much better than just looking at a photograph. Sorry to hear you've had a visit from the frog, but you're so right... it's all worth it! Take care and happy stitching :) x

[@stitchinglis]

This is so gorgeous! Your work is amazing. I'm so glad you made this close-up finish video because this piece really deserved to be appreciated in this way. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for making it and congratulations on such a beautiful job.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Stitching Lis Thank you so much! I got a lot of questions on this one regarding the conversion and I don't think anyone's done a detailed video on it yet, so I thought I would. I think I will consider doing the same for the other ladies, and Mirabilia's on my plan as they all seem to create so much interest... and I know I would watch if it was a design I was wanting to stitch. Thanks for watching and happy stitching :) x

[@ОльгаТеплицкая-у5ч]

I like your colors very-very much)))

[@CarolinaSCraftsMakeupFood]

It came out really good! I had seen these colors so much I hadn't realized it was a conversion until the first time I heard you mentioning it! I like your fabric choice as well- I've only used lugana once and really loved it, so I can't wait to use it again!

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Carolina S (Crafts Makeup Food) Thank you so much Carolina. The original colours are very pretty too... just not for Autumn (in my opinion, anyway). I looooooove lugana... it's always my go to fabric of choice :) Happy stitching :) x

[@Khristine4558]

Gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing :) Hope all is well with you!

[@vintagestitches9695]

Thank you for sharing! I will be stitching a color conversion of the Summer Celtic Lady pattern next month!

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+vintagestitches My pleasure! Which colour conversion have you chosen? Autumn was the easiest of the conversions to choose from... the others' not so. I have no idea at this stage which one I'll stitch next. Happy stitching :) x

[@vintagestitches9695]

I found the color conversion on pinterest. The colors remind me of Cinderella's gown, although I think I might keep some of the original purple as charted., but have not decided yet. thaliebroderies.pagesperso-orange.fr/celticsummerbleue.htm I will also be changing the name of the season to my niece's name.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

vintagestitches Oh that is a very pretty conversion... I'm sure it will look gorgeous! Your niece is a very lucky girl indeed! :)

[@ElaineP49]

Stunning work Carolyn....I have the celtic christmas, but altho I made a start some time ago....I've yet to carry on with it....I too prefer the look of the 28ct....your work is truly beautiful and so inspirational to those of us who have lost our mojo!!!...you have made me want to give it another go, but think I will prob start again fresh. Keep up with the great vids...hugs :o) x x

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+sassygal2007 Thank you so much! Celtic Christmas is my favourite of all the ladies, and I may even start her next.... I haven't decided yet. Thank you for your lovely comments - it means a lot to me :) x

Great finish!! Congratulations, she is beautiful!

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Dee Stitcher Thanks so much Dee :) x

[@PamsCraftyCorner]

She's turned out so lovely. I agree with you for opting to do the colour conversion. Although I love purple I don't think of it as a fall colour at all.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Pam Reid Thanks so much Pam. The purple colours are beautiful, and I may even use them for another season..... maybe! This was the easiest of the conversions to pick, the others will take a lot more thought haha Take care and happy stitching :) x

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Dena Dosdale Thank you so much Dena! Glad to hear you're returning to this amazing hobby - my life simply wouldn't function as well without it... so I'm always going to support anyone wanting to do it. Hope you have a wonderful year of stitching ahead :) x

[@Shadow5618]

I'm sure that some of the increased hours in your time were due to doing the skin 1/1. She is totally gorgeous, however, and worth the time. I have looked at this conversion a lot and tried to figure out how I would manage NOT to make a mistake with the colors. Thank you for showing me how to do it! I don't think I would have thought of the liquid paper, but that is the answer. I didn't realize the project had so many beads! Be super careful when pressing her after the wash with invisible thread (ask me how I know!) but you probably know that already. She's another masterpiece, my friend - which Mira is up for you next? I'm waiting for my fabric to start Bluebeards Princess - don't plan on waiting until Jan 1 unless the fabric forces the issues! Want to stitch her with me? :-)

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Shadow5618 Haha I just commented that to someone a few minutes ago - hadn't realised it at the time of filming!! You are totally right, as the 1 over 1 takes 4 times as long but is definitely worth it. Even if she had taken me a year of stitching, I would still be happy. I'll definitely report back with my ironing recommendations :) My next project is Mirabilia Roses of Provence which was chosen by my Mum. She found it hard to choose but eventually that is the one she selected. Kitting up online in the next few days :) I would love to stitch with you, but I'm not sure when I'll be starting hun. I wanted to start before Jan 1 too, but the plan was to finish my Stocking UFO and then go on to the Mira. The stocking is taking a lot longer than I thought it would (and I missed stitching on it the last 2 days!). Don't wait for me to start yours, but if it works out that we can do it together, then that will be great :) x

[@Shadow5618]

+Carolyn Mazzeo I like Roses of Provence as well. Which fabric are you going to use? That stocking is incredibly complicated so I'm not surprised it's taking you longer than you expect. I'm also waiting for the pattern on mine so don't really know when I'll be starting it either. Anyway, you can probably start AFTER me and still beat me! LOL Can't wait to see your stocking!

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Shadow5618 I've been looking at fabrics from Picture This Plus - I want something subtle that won't take away from the design at all. I'm thinking maybe Sprite at this stage, which is a lovely soft lavender. After I finish this stocking, there will be nothing holding me back from doing a Teresa Wenztler... it's just as difficult as her charts lol. Haha I don't think I'll beat you to a finish :) x

[@philipbrazis8732]

I did the Christmas one, love it

[@BerginLisa]

Lovely finish. I have this one in my ufo pile and using a very similar conversion I purchased mine from Leisurecraft (Tewkesbury) - I don't think she offers the converted kit anymore. As for the time it took you 100 - 150 hrs is about the time it takes me to do this sort of size project particularly if it has metallic and beading. So perhaps Janet is a really quick stitcher.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Lisa Bergin Thanks Lisa! I think what also contributed to the extra time was the 1 over 1 stitching.... I completely forgot about that. It takes 4 times longer than normal stitching and there were a few areas that I stitched that way, so I'm thinking that was it. And yes I'm sure you're right - Janet is a really quick stitcher :) Happy stitching :) x

[@stitchypumpkincatfee3708]

She looks amazing. It would probably take me double your time if not even longer.

[@chelseaolesh9679]

Beautiful! I didn't want to do this pattern because of the original color design, but if i swap out colors like you I might stitch this one. :-)

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Chelsea Gelesko Oooh I hope you do Chelsea.... add it onto that massive WIP pile of yours :)))))) x

[@chelseaolesh9679]

hehehe. I gonna be starting Celtic Summer in November for the SAL on facebook group: cross stitch and discuss. :)

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

Chelsea Gelesko Awesome! Are you doing a conversion, or the colours listed?

[@chelseaolesh9679]

+Carolyn Mazzeo I really like that way it looks so I will be doing it as is. Though i did the conversion for the needlepaint colors to dmc...plus i already got the floss for it, but we shall see. Do you know of a different conversion for Celtic Summer?

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

Chelsea Gelesko I've seen a few. I really like the gold & green one shown here: www.thutmosis.net/CelticLadies/CelticLadies.htm as my ancestry is from Ireland, I feel the colours can relate to me. There is one here which is pinks and purples: stitchingrabbit.blogspot.com.au/2008_08_01_archive.html Another one which is all pink and changed to Celtic Easter: lavenderandlace.yuku.com/topic/1632#.ViGDKrSqpHw Another one here: lavenderandlace.yuku.com/topic/1426#.ViGDrLSqpHx I'm not sure if all these links will work hun or if you need to be a member to see them. If not, I found them by doing a Google Image search on the internet.... so many variations listed there and they will lead to the stitchers' blog where hopefully, they have listed the colours used. :)

[@StitchingJoanne]

Very very nice. I could use those needlepaint conversions to convert Red.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Stitching Joanne I did a bit of a search, but this is all I could find: juliesxstitch.com/stitching-tools-needlepaints-to-dmc-conversion Are any of the colours you require converted here?

[@StitchingJoanne]

Thanks. I meant I want to do Red in a different colour and the gradient oranges given for your piece looks good

[@mariafenollar1490]

REALLY NICE....

Ola. Maravilhoso! Qual tecido voce usou?

[@milliealayon7594]

Do you have instructions on charting one's signature? I agree on 1over1 for faces and hands. It's worth the trouble. This is perfection!

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Millie Alayon Hi Millie! For my signature I just found an alphabet book with a design that I liked and played around with it a bit and changed it to suit my needs. My particular letters had flowers, which I omitted and then I staggered them so they would take up less room, widthways on my fabric... and then I added the year. It's just really a matter of finding something you like and then adapting it. I love the 1 over 1 too... skin should be delicate and petite point is the best way to achieve that. Thank you for your lovely comment, happy stitching :) x

[@efbauer1264]

Thanks for your speedy response. I will check into it. Sorry about the multiple repeats of my message. The youtube Google messaging gods are restless. They keep giving me grief whenever I make a comment.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

[@amandawilliamson4780]

Hi Carolyn, Oh Celtic Autumn is soooooooooo! beautiful. I hope mine looks as good when I start it next year as one of my 2016 projects. When you start the others in the series are you going to convert any of them or stitch them as charted?Take care lovely ladyHugs Amanda from UKxxxx

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Amanda Williamson Thank you so much Amanda! I'm so glad you're going to do one next year. I think I'll be leaving the Christmas one the same, but may possibly change the others. I love the Winter one with the cape, but there isn't a pdf chart for the cape anymore so I'm not sure about that one. I'll be doing a Mirabilia next (for my Mum) so I have a little time to consider which one will be next and whether to do a conversion or not. Take care and happy stitching :) x

[@efbauer1264]

In one of your past videos you showed a bead storage system that you had purchased. I can't find that particular video now. I have been looking at the storage boxes with the small individual snap lid containers. I think that is what I saw in your video, but I am not sure which brand. Can you give me feedback on what you have and how you like it? "Miss Autumn" is gorgeous and your color selection is perfect.

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+E.F. Bauer I am sincerely sorry for the late reply.... I just now found this comment in my "likely spam" folder along with 19 others????? You've probably already got your answer to this question by now, but in case you haven't here goes.... As for the bead storage, I'm going to direct you to McKenzie's video where you shows it off really well, because I honestly can't remember where I showed it on mine either lol! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWPSYaaKatWXaZY I absolutely love it and wouldn't be without it. Mine cost substantially more because of the shipping to Australia, but it is worth it. I haven't filled it up yet, but when I do, I won't hesitate to buy another one :) Thank you so much for the compliment. Take care and happy stitching :) x

[@ltutak]

Absolutely beautiful! I love your little initial design at the bottom. Did you design that?

[@TheFlosstubeStitcher]

+Lynn Tutak Thanks so much Lynn. I got the signature from an alphabet book and modified it to suit my needs... took a bit of creating, but it's so much better than stitching my full name (like I used to). Take care and happy stitching :) x

How do you iron after the beads are on the piece? I've heard the invisible thread can melt. Thanks for showing us a closer look at her. She's gorgeous. My favorite color is purple, but I might have to do this conversion.

+Kristin Choate It will most definitely melt. I had beads going everywhere on a project after I pressed it with too hot an iron. I'm sure Carolyn will figure it out and tell us how she did it so that won't happen!

+Shadow5618 Which invisible thread did you use? I used the YLI Wonder Invisible thread and according to their website it doesn't melt with a home iron. Maybe the iron was too hot? Another site recommended a pressing sheet between the iron and the thread to prevent melting also.

+Kristin Choate You know I thought I had ironed a piece with invisible thread before, but I can't remember what it was. According to the YLI website, their thread doesn't melt with a home iron - although I'm sure the temperature of the iron would have to play an important role in that. Another site suggested a pressing sheet between the iron and the thread. Don't worry, I will test it out and report back :) I still love the original colours - the purple is beautiful... just not really for Autumn. Maybe I might use it for another season conversion :) x

Ha ha! Yes it does! I can assure you that is wrong! I was using a medium temp AND a pressing cloth and it still melted in some spaces. Beads everywhere. I still think you can do it but you have to be really careful. Switch to NYMO thread (get it on Amazon) and you won't have to worry about it again!

+Shadow5618 Nymo only comes in black or white though - is that right? I actually like the versatility of invisible thread. Oh dear.... you have me scared now. I'll have to do a test piece first I think... otherwise she's not going to get a wash OR an iron :(

In one of your past videos you showed a bead storage system that you had purchased. I can't find that particular video now. I have been looking at the storage boxes with the small individual snap lid containers. I think that is what I saw in your video, but I am not sure which brand. Can you give me feedback on what you have and how you like it? "Miss Autumn" is gorgeous and your color selection is perfect.

+E.F. Bauer Hi! It's called a Tiny Containers Tray by Bead Storage Solutions. I'm not sure where you're located but I've heard you can purchase these from Michael's or Hobby Lobby... also Amazon have good deals also. Because I'm located in Australia, I purchased mine here: www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h203076pk Here's a link to McKenzie's video where she explains hers in detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWPSYaaKatWXaZY Not cheap, but well worth it. I love mine - they're perfect for storage. Make sure you shop around as prices do vary. Thank you for your kind comments :) x
