She even included CJ, even though he isn't presently living with us. How fun! I absolutely love it, and am trying to decide where to hang it so I can enjoy it daily. I love that she used a, Anna Maria Horner Good Folks print for the matting, too! She used a custom pattern by wee little stitches.
I also completed a little cross-stitch on the retreat. Nicke bought me this pattern for my birthday (ahem, half a year ago), and I finally stitched it up. It took no time at all, and I just love it!
It's from Shaun of the Dead and you can get the pattern here. Kaelin is pretty crazy about it, so I'm going to mail this one off to her, and stitch it up a second time for me.
There's one more handstitched project to share today.
I finished my reverse applique needlebook in Rachel's class! I love how it turned out.
Rachel supplied the felt as part of the optional class kit, and I used this Amy Butler Lark print. I mimicked the print in my applique cutouts. It was fun and quick. I may make a second needlebook!
I haven't made any progress on my Modern Medallion. I hope to work on that sometime this week!
I love the needlebook and the design you did on the front - it's perfect. I really need to make one with several pages with labels or something to keep track of the different sized needles.
