I agree!! Beautiful update and I do hope you are feeling better soon!!

Thank you! Yes I'm feeling much better! Billy is on hold for the next couple of months while I stitch a new kit for Bothy Threads

This is lovely Nicola. As others have said the red poppy is striking against the bird colours. Amazing how many colours there are in your owl though, it is very detailed. Will look gorgeous when completed & framed

Glad you are feeling better & hope you enjoy your new BTSK (Bothy Threads secret kit)

Just a little update for you all! As you all know I'm stitching a new Wrendale for Bothy Threads coming out in May, well, I'm almost halfway through and plan on finishing it by the start of April! Fingers crossed! And then it will be back to finishing Billy the Barn Owl! Just thought I'd post something on here as, whilst I have been popping on to see what's happening, I hadn't posted for a while! xxx

Great to hear about your progress!

Exactly my thoughts!!

Hello, Nicola
It sounds like you are making great progress.
Do you like working with your new frame?

I love it! Especially for the Wrendales and I can adjust the bars for slightly larger or smaller. If I'm doing any small projects I think I'd still use my Elbesee wooden hoops though

I am so glad, Nicola. You have a professional workshop now

Great that you are making good progress with the new design and I look forward to see Billy Barn Owl later on.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, your stitching is so neat and even too.

I'm so intrigued as to what secret design you are stitching for Bothy Threads and just think your stitching will feature as the picture on the kit of whatever it is, well done.

Thank you so much Garnet!

So here's the surprise kit that I've been working on that will be released in the new Bothy Threads Wrendale Designs range in May! I started him on the 10th February and finished him today 26th March. I am so proud of myself for doing this and hope I get the chance to do a model stitch again in the future! The title is "The Diet Starts Tomorrow"

How wonderful!! Too adorable!! I love it and once again a smile is present on my face!

Carole

Oh my goodness!!! This is absolutely adorable!!!! Great stitching!! I can only imagine how much fun it was to stitch!!!

He's adorable, and I love the sentiment

I love him to bits.

Aw hack just when I am trying to be good and not buy anything more.

He is fabulous Nicola I look forward to seeing your work on the cover photo in due course.
