I love it and I am sure it will give her some brightness in her day.

Re: Mabel's designs 2022
I agree...Just Perfect.
BTW I saw the 'smile for today' with Lexi...I would be tempted to send that photo as well to your friend.

Re: Mabel's designs 2022
Maybe just the odd Lexi tummy hair to make it a bit more realistic

Oh Do-Pea is adorable, and so beautifully stitched as always
Re: Mabel's designs 2022
Agree with everyone above. Do-Pea is absolutely adorable! I wouldn't be surprised if he opened his mouth and started singing!

Re: Mabel's designs 2022
I'm not very good at finishing embroideries (turning them into something, I mean) but I'm quite pleased with this slightly rustic-looking way of displaying one of my little rainbows

Re: Mabel's designs 2022
That looks perfect to me Mabel, I hadn't thought of covering something and it lying flat, it works beautifully, and such a wonderful message too.
Another idea (if you don't mind) for another time would be to finish in the same way and add a hanging loop at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock (if you see what I mean) perhaps using the same thread as the word Hope. ( I really hope you don't mind me making a suggestion, though not for this one it is perfect as it is)

Re: Mabel's designs 2022
I think you have come up with a lovely way to present your embroidery. The description in FoF was. Sry easy to follow. The rainbow is so pretty. And Garnet’s suggestion sounds like it would work also. There is no reason that a project can’t have more than one way to show its beautiful self.

Re: Mabel's designs 2022
I like the idea of the hanging loops - how would you attach them ?
