Jilly, that's lovely -- he is such a delicate little character in his bullrush background; I can quite understand why he's been voted favourite!

A small in-betweenie for Vinni :D
It was a cover kit, but as usual, they only supply enough thread to stitch in one strand, so I raided my stash to do him in two strands.

Oh, And I did not bother with that split the Aida to do the backstitch nonsense, I just went for the nearest hole :roll:

Very very cute, Jilly, btw. Don't usually care for 'cute' but this is an exception. Excellent!

Great finish, and the fabric is just perfect! Did they dye it to your specifications or is it one of their existing shades?
