Eeyore's flowers - a finish

Post by Carole »

I'm a bit excited to have a finished project at last this year. It would help if I didn't keep starting new ones of course, but who can resist?
This small one, 15cm x 11cm (6" x 4 1/2"), has taken me about a month, 'cause I'm a really slow stitcher. Granted stitching time has to compete for attention with reading time but still...

The kit came with 16 count Aida but I know the Debbie Minton kits tend have a lot of fractional stitches, plus there's a lot of empty fabric so I used 32 count Murano instead. I find it much easier to do the fiddly fractionals and I think it looks finer where there's no stitching. I also used antique white instead of the original white. I've got the other three in the set, Tigger, Pooh and Piglet so I got enough fabric for all of them for when I'm in the mood to do the rest :wink:

And as if I didn't have enough to be going on with, I've just ordered some nice 28 count Cashel for another project. There is no hope :roll:

Post edited to change fabric to Murano from Jobelan as I forgot that the Jobelan wasn't available and I had to be brave and use a 'new to me' fabric instead. I've only been sewing on it for a month - you'd think I'd remember what it was...

He looks great amongst his flowers, a lovely piece of work. Its good too that you have the other 3 to do at some stage.

Its always good to have more fabric on hand especially if you have a project in view so good on you for ordering more. Stash is important.

I went hunting for some 14 cnt aida to do a quick little one on - couldn't find a piece big enough - boo hooo. So a quick trip to the shops soon, our local habby shop has a few packs of aida.

It's The Bookshelf by LHN. I thought I'd start a WIP thread for it when I get the fabric.

Really cute pattern and well stitched. I love Pooh and friends, especially bouncy Tigger. I have some patterns for Christmas decorations featuring them, so must get that out and start working . . . :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:
