After getting all the pieces for the Bowl Bunny cut out at the retreat, and starting the stitching after getting home, I finished all the stitching last night. I cut out the homespun backing. It's pretty flimsy so I ironed it onto fusible stabilizer and cut it out again. Today I finished the blanket stitching and stuffing and just finished it a few minutes ago.
Instead of the white French knots in the centre of the flower, I did yellow ones. I also used white DMC Etoile thread for the stem stitch around the flower's centre.I think I'll start the chick next.
On Sunday I had the girlies here for a craft day and lots of crafty discussions. Marilyn and MaryK were unable to join us due to other commitments.
I cleverly forgot to take my threads to work on this project at stitching yesterday. I did more work on this last night. I'm using DMC Blanc rather than Grits for the snowflakes so they show up better.
I just may get this done by my birthday next month. Regardless of my progress, I plan to start this on my birthday.
