That is very cute and very appropriate!!!!!!

Lovely pattern, and lovely story

Great story Mabel and lovely idea!! The camel is very nice!

Thanks for the heads up about the site. Have been looking for some camel charts to stitch for a friend who took us to the camel markets and this one is perfect. Will definitely have a browse

It looks wonderful! Loved the background story about it as well!

What a great story Mabel! It seems like these Russian charts were just made for you! Can't wait to see the hippo

Lovely story and I love the Camel

great camel!

How cool! I should make this for my father.He has a camel driver's permit after he was stationed in Saudia Arabia for a bit

This is great!

Lovely story and great camel

I found another lovely chart on that blog, a funny monochrome sheep which I knew would be perfect for DH's niece Isobel, especially in wooly white on a lovely bit of hand-dyed pale mauve fabric I have as she loves lilacs and purples. I made a few changes to it and added a caption (complete with terrible puns, which she also loves ), so now I'm ready for her birthday, even though that's not for a few months!

I'm thinking of several variations on this chart, I may do one in dark grey on a piece of multi-coloured pastel splotchy hand-dyed, stitch the body solidly (without the "void" flowers) and then decorate it with flower sequins or buttons

Anyway, here it is:

That's so cute, great design

Mabel I love him

His tail would look fab in french knots or that loopy stitch
