Blanket stitch with two strands of embroidery floss. Needs lots of Vlisofix!

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to take some hand stitching with us on our travels around Australia in our caravan. I saw this pattern in the Australian Patchwork and Quilting magazine . I knew this was the project for me and it took nearly two years to complete the applique. Apologies for the photo, not sure how it ended side on. I'll post more with some closeups later.

What are you most proud of?

That It's nearly finished. I just have the binding to do.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Enjoy the journey and be as creative as you like. I added a few extra's like the bunnys.................

Thanks so much, I've done the binding now and have used the smaller green floral print the same as the inner border. So, on to the label :o)
