Anticipation is a wonderful thing, and what a character Stuffy already exhibits. Perhaps the recipient can help with the framing choice?

That would drive both my framer & I nuts Serinde. Much easier to leave him out of that stage of events.

PS He is (or was) a Master Builder and now teaches at a TAFE college near his home. He takes apprentices through the paperwork stages of their becoming a qualified builder.

Greetings All I thought it was about time I put in an update as it is several months and a whole new vocabulary since the last one. This designer is totally nuts. I am currently working in an area that has 3 different white threads AND it is an almost white area of course. It is now away again until next week sometime. Hopefully here is a photo.

Thank you for looking

I adore this one! He is so adorable and you are stitching this perfectly. I appreciate How hard it can be to have 3 different shades of white in the same area and why you need to take a break. My current sampler has threads that are very close in shades of beige, being stitched on a very pale ecru. Taking a break myself to give my eyes a rest. Looking forward to your next update, though, since this is one of the “makes me smile” projects.

He is adorable and makes me smile, much needed at the moment! Well done for keeping all those whites in order

Cute little paws! Stuffy is adorable: you are stitching him beautifully.
Three types of white is pretty crazy, I agree. Not long until the finish though...

So cute & nicely stitched. Look forward to seeing this again as it is so lifelike.

I am now working solely in the last 1/4 of the design - thank heavens the confetti parts are not evident on the chart so I should make better progress - at least until I get to the b/s which looks very challenging and may well be edited.

Thank You for looking

He is so adorable and you're making great progress on him - he must make you smile while you're working on him

Nearly there...keep at it, Sally!

As for the back stitch, when I finished Pamela Puffin I did quite a bit of my own interpretation. Unless you have the chart right next to the finished picture, and who does that??, no one one will ever know.

My smile for the day!!! Thank you!!
Really looking good and I agree with Wendy, editing the bs makes sense to me. I don't do much these days, but when I did, I often found that all that was on the chart, was not all that was really needed.

He is adorable and I love the expression on his face! Nearly finished...

Well done, Sally

Thank You all for your kind comments. Wendy I have no intention of following the b/s chart except around the feet hands and biscuit. The rest will be as I feel like it.

Sally this is so cute!!! Very very nice!! Great progress!!!!

What an amazing little picture. Just makes you want to smile. Beautifully done. The back stitch on those ones is daunting, but I think it adds character and also to the fuzzy feeling you get when looking at it.

But I'm sure what you'll do will look great.

Regards,

Richard.
