Teddy Birth Sampler

Post by Emmylou »

Hello all, a couple of months back I completed this birth sampler from Cross Stitch Teddies by Sue Whiting. I know the bear bottom left has funny eyes but it was the only bear that I had managed to do French knots on, I must add it was my first cross stitch of this size but despite the funny eyes my cousin loved it.

This was before they had eyes:

This was the end product:

:applesauce: I think this one is so cute and very well done. I don't see anything funny about any of the teddies eyes. French knots can be funny. Sometimes I whiz right through a whole bunch of them and they are perfect and some days its as if I never knew how to do them. Generally, mine are okay. Yours look fine to me. Nice job and I'm looking forward to seeing your other projects.

Great finish! And if the french knots look different to you, well each bear has their own style. :) Nice work.

Love it and you have done an amazing job with it. As Tiff has said the different eyes give each bear a different look. French knots have a life of their own and yours are nothing to be worried abut.
