It’s just over a week since I shared my progress with the Winnie the Pooh birth sampler. At that point I had just three letters left to stitch, but I also had to finish Pooh and the bees, then do all the back-stitch as well as some Algerian crosses…

I think seeing the end was not too far away spurred me on even more and I finished it a couple of days ago…

I love it, it’s been a delight to stitch, I love the freshness of the design. It’s a design by Freckledoll on Etsy, the charts were nice and clear too, I’d happily buy one of her designs again. I adapted it slightly as the F was one of the smallest letters of the design but obviously I wanted it a bit bigger, so I redrew the F bigger and the G smaller which I think has worked out well.

Winnie the Pooh is now down at the framers and will be ready in good time for Frankie’s first birthday.
