At least you managed to sort it out fairly quickly. :dance:

I must say that he's one of the nicest owls that I have seen. :wub:

He is totally gorgeous. Just makes me want to start one of my kits that arrived yesterday, but trying to be disciplined and finish 2 of my UFO and a project I am doing for someone else before starting one of them. It is so hard when I see Billy.

So sad to hear :ribbit: is out on the loose again but it was well worth the effort to fix it. Billy is looking great. :dance: :dance: :dance:

Another day off today (my only one this week until the weekend) so I made the most of it and got some more of Billy done including some backstitch and floaty feathers! I'm tempted to add a poppy to add a splash of colour :wink: I've ordered side bar tension clips from member Niki (Fizzbw) on her Facebook page as the fabric is starting to sag a little (although it doesn't look it on the photo) and I like my tension to be tight! Hoping the postie brings them soon! xxx

Oh my, Billy is really coming along now! He looks already so lifelike, surely it's a good idea to do the backstitching already as you go along.
I LOVE his floaty feathers, they look so fluffy. :wub:
I'm so happy that you stitched this one on the speckled fabric, it fits Billy perfectly.

Thanks Sina! I'm really enjoying stitching him. There are four new ones coming out in February which I'm going to get. One of them is a fox with poppies and I plan on doing him after Billy and framing them both in a double mounted frame xxx
