Happy Dance - Chocolate Bunny

 

Started: 2/3/2023

Finished: 2/5/2023

Total Stitching Time: 4 hours and 56 minutes

This is a free chart from F.lli Graziano.

It's stitched as charted on 14-count white Aida, but I modified the colors.  The original design had the bunny in yellow and the flowers in orange.  I originally started stitching it on 14-count Lt. Seafoam Green Aida, but didn't like the fabric (I had trouble finding the holes.).

I typically stitch at least one Easter/Spring square a year so it will be added to my other Easter/Spring squares and eventually be sent to a charity group to be made into a quilt.

Happy Dance - Egg-ceptional

Started: 5/13/2020

Finished: 6/19/2020

Stitching Time: 8 hours 37 minutes

Egg-ceptional is part of the most recent Spring Bouquet Collection and is one of my favorites. 

It is stitched mostly as charted with the provided materials.  The only exception is that I only use two strands of floss for the cross stitch.  The frog visited several times while I worked on it, but it's still one of my favorites.

I will trim it, add the charm and provided magnet to the back and it will join the others on my refrigerator and will probably stay there year round.

If anyone would like my leftovers, please leave a comment.  If not, I will take them to our local thrift store with my next donation.

Happy Dance - Easter Lizzie

Started: 4/5/2020

Finished: 4/9/2020

Stitching Time: 6 hours 43 minutes

While most of the Furry Tales patterns I get from the World of Cross Stitching magazines, this one I had to purchase from Lucie Heaton's website, because I didn't have any Easter designs.

It's stitched on white 14-count Aida as charted.  Her dress was supposed to be yellow and the sleeves blue, but I couldn't find the called for blue floss so I changed both the dress and sleeve color.

This is the fourth in the series I'm stitching for WOCS (World of Charity Stitching).
