Beautiful shading

It took me a year to finally sit down and stitch this and I’m not disappointed. But I’ve delayed the finishing because I want to do it justice and am just not sure what to do -frame it or hemstitch the borders. Maybe I’ll stitch the Miniature Winter Sampler and then decide. Hmmmmm, I’m thinkin’ . . .

Biscornu Sent

As part of the Tiny Treasures Exchange here is the biscornu that I sent my exchange partner, Cathy.

I used the rabbit motif from Nature’s Beauty by Little House Needleworks, one of her favorite designers.

This side is English Cottage Sampler, a freebie from Teresa Wentzler. I used 28 count fabric, DMC floss & RG Wisper for the fuzzy bunny tails, various beads for embellishment and for the pins that I made to go along with it.
