I didn't think I would be posting so soon after my last post, but I finished 'Promise Me'. I love this saying! I grew up with Winnie the Pooh and he is dear to my heart. This saying is from Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh.
I did change the colors and two things in the pattern.(no surprise there)There was a heart in the upper right hand corner and I changed it to a Bee.
I wanted my stitchery too be more 'Winnie the Pooh' like... so I also changed the basket at the bottom to a honey pot with honey running down the sides.
Here is what the pattern from Lizzie * Kate looks like....
Here is my work/sketches trying to figure out how to stitch a bee and honey pot....
So now to find a frame or take it to a framer and have them do it... I'm not sure yet. I do love it and can't wait to hang it on the wall.
I stitched it for my sister in law's birthday which isn't until July... so I have time to find a frame for it. My sister in law has a huge rabbit, loves leaves and sort of looks like Belle.
I used an 18 count aida cloth which is a little higher count then the sample is stitched on, but I wanted mine to be a little smaller so I can easily find a frame for it.
I love how it turned out, but I'm super excited it's done because there are a lot of other things I want to stitch. Being on a two week break from school and having a Mother's Day stitching retreat at my local quilt shop helped me get 'Pieces of Autumn' finished. Now to go finish up month 6 of Santa's Village.
