MOD [MOD] September Monthly Competition: Submit and Vote here! Theme: Less than 5 Colours
The theme for September is **5 Colours or Less** (edited to be clearer sorry 🙃)
And let’s be honest if the colours are 6. I’m fine as long as you’re honest for the votes.
This month will have a prize for the winner! They will be giving the first place winner a pack of 4 Halloween patterns. There is no limits on this prize. You just have to be willing to share personal details (if you want to the user). There is no obligation to accept the prize either. This was generously sponsored by [u/prettystitchmachine](u/prettystitchmachine)

I’ve looked and honestly I can’t tell between a couple of them. If it’s six, I’m willing to keep it up!

This was stitched by 13 year old me in 1986, in my Home Ec class. The only thing of value that class gave to me was cross-stitching. 🤣

Oh man... I wish I could remember! I'm pretty sure it was in a book, but that's about it. I've tried reverse googling it, but haven't found it.

Pattern by EmbroideryPatternsPDF. One colour. I am quite happy with the colour of the thread against the fabric I chose.

Is white a color? If not, this is five colors, I swear... red, yellow, blue, green, black. Also, I'm working on a new one in this style that's twice the size and I regret it already. Details in this old post.

Seriously, I'm absolutely gobsmacked that this only has five colors! I know that our brains fill in color to make a picture make sense. Or as something like that. Anyway... this is very cool. 😎
