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!

  1. 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!
