And then there were three

Well four actually, mice not designs that is as there are two mice in the first one,
 sending-hugs., just the one in Lots of Love .

This one is

 Hope you feel better.

there are four more to go, I may well stitch the whole set if the pattern holds up.

Patchwork Rabbit....update

All finished and gifted.

I almost had an issue with this finish.  I worked out the lettering for the name using my normal go to alphabet.  It was too small. So I set to with a different slightly larger alphabet. 

So what was the problem?

Not sure if it was something on the TV in the background, but the second set of names in the new alphabet was not the name the parents had chosen!  Still a girls name and starting with the same first letter.  Good job I noticed before I finished the stitching.  Never done that before, almost missed double letters out yes but a completely different name...oh dear.  






So the IOU from the baby shower is redeemed.

I am quite pleased with the finished piece.

Thankfully so were the parents and had a chuckle over the almost renaming to Edith.

Another mouse

I do appear to be drawn to mice. Not Tom this time but still one from a designer that has appeared before  .

I had started this as a Sunday stitch, I did not get around to sharing it as such and then at work I heard that another of my managers was leaving.  So the sewing speeded up to a finish.



I am not sure if I will look for a little frame for it or use it for a card.  I need to make my mind up soon.
