Slow stitching this week...

A little squirrel caught me this week, and I had a Drop Everything and Make It moment with a cross-stitch design.  I shared the start of it in my Thursday post, and today I can share the finish!

This is Bluebird and Bees, designed by Melisa at PinkernPunkin Quilting.  The little bluebird caught my attention, and I had a scrap of Aida cloth that was just the right size.


I finished it up into a little pincushion, about 3.5 inches square, but filled it with polyfill instead of walnut shells, to make a little Spring decoration.



Meanwhile, I've also been stitching on Ms. Gardening Easter Bunny from last week.  So cute with her green outfit and a pink flower sticking out of her pocket!

There's lots more stitching to be done on this one, 
so that will be my slow stitching for this Sunday!

Your new pincushion is so cute! I can see why it squirrelled you. The gardening Easter rabbit is also a fun design. I thought he was done and then saw more lines to embroider. Have fun stitching!

That is a cute little pillow you made! I can see why you had to drop everything and stitch it up.

Aah Diann, your Bluebird and Bees Pin Pillow is adorable. Thank you so much for stitching it and it looks adorable with your birdhouse. Ms. Gardening Bunny is as cute as a button. Love his britches. Lol. Happy quilting and stitching.

Your new pincushion is lovely, as is the stitchery bunny. Where do you buy the walnut shells from?
