This is another project - unfinished, but I thought I'd share it. I struggle with back and blanket stitch, it drives me crazy but I keep going! I know I will get the hang of it one day, and I really love how good it looks - on other peoples work!! So here I just need to add a strip to the sides, and then do the back and add some hanging tabs. This one is going up on my wall, and is my take on a pattern from the recent "Creating Country Threads" magazine.
This little sheep is for my mother-in-law for christmas, as she loves sheep, and when I saw it in an old copy of "Country Craft and Decorating" I knew I had to make it! I have used different colors, and as you can see the stitches are'nt the best, but it is one of my better tries! To finish this off I just need to frame it.
