Rose, I was only disappointed that I didn't take a photograph before the backstitching just to show how "alive" he looks compared to prior to the backstitching - and no I won't unpick it

Great work on Tigger!

...and happy stitching with Pooh!

Tigger looks awesome and bouncy as ever

And a great start on Pooh bear!

I would love to do a Winnie the Pooh series in cross stitch and put a typical quote each char says along the bottom

(e.g. "T-I-double G-ER! That spells Tigger!"

)

This is really coming along well, it's fun watching it develop.

2 done already

!

Will you be doing Eeyore without his grassy seat as well?

Great progress!

I really enjoy watching your every progress....Happy stitching!

Yes I think I'll do Eeyore without grass. I'm thinking I may need to add grass onto Winnie as I miscalculated the centre of design (I think I may have counted the grass within the stitch count!!)

Your doing really well, I've always wanted to do an afghan but never felt brave enought, maybe when one of my girls has a baby i might venture in doing one lol

Pooh looks great!! Eeyore is adorable but he is smiling that is very unusual.

Great job on Pooh bear,

his bouquet of flowers! Awaiting Eeyore

I think I'm going to enjoy this!

Just one question: erm... what's afghan? I think of Afghan hounds (who would object to being stitched, I feel!); and afghan blankets/coats (though I dunno what they look/feel like).

But afghan cross stitch fabric?

i love Winnie the pooh.

I actually started the same tigger 2 years ago but when me nan got taken ill I stopped and I now can't find the pattern book to complete it.

Fljotsdale, if you look in the glossary for the Fabrics and Threads message, there's soemthing about afghans in there.

Just caught up with this one. Looking really great, well done!

Gave up on my Lifeguards Crest - it just didn't look right

Twiddled with the pattern a bit and eventually lost my rag!!! So back to my lurvly Winnie the Pooh afghan. Kym - if you want a loan of the pattern once I've done, please shout and I'll gladly send it on. It's all complete but a bit dog-eared, chewed and the back page (just the cover) is torn but I picked it up from the car boot for 10p so was too good a bargain to leave !!!

PS. Will post piccie once Eeyore's done - just got to finish his muzzle, butterfly and back-stitch.
