Irishstitchers Sal

Post by irishstitcher »

:D Hey everyone sorry I havent been around in so long my laptop needs a new battery and charger! I am after going back to a UFO I have.
After doing a wedding sampler of these bears I swore never again because of the backstitching but Ive went back :) It is a Me to You kit, height chart. This is what it should look like when complete:

I have done a small bit more on my other WIP tiger in the wave I will try and post an update tommorrow.

That's cute!
Could you make it easier on yourself by backstitching each as you go along?
Great progress on this.

Yep TB I think the only way I will complete this without going mad is to backstitch after every couple of blocks :)
