An Easter Finish & some more wip updates!

Hi all

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and that the bunny brought you all plenty of chocolates!!

This weekend I decided I needed to stitch something for Easter as I haven't had too many Easter related finishes in the past. I decided on The Trilogy - Happy Bunny Bunny Day after seeing it on someone elses blog! Here's my version:
Stitched as charted on 28ct "dirty"cashel linen with WDW. Buttons from stash. Stitching started April 2 and completed April 5, 2010.

This past week I also made some progress on 2 of my wip's, one was my valentine's day start which I realised I hadn't previously posted a pic of!! Here's my wip updates:

Jeanette Douglas Designs - Heart Collector

This is scanning a bit pinker than it really is but at least you can get the general idea. I'm stitching this as charted with a combination of various hand dyed threads. It uses WDW, GAST & Needle Necessities. Fabric is 32ct Antique White belfast linen.

Elizabeth's Designs - In the Garden of my Heart

This piece was the last of my guilt-free January starts. I haven't shown this one before either but the previous pic would have been pretty boring as it was just border boxes. Fabric is 32ct lambswool jobelan and threads used are WDW & DMC.

Well that's all for me from this past week, had a couple of nights without any stitching so not as much progress as I would have liked but at least I made some progress!

Not sure what will be on the agenda this week but it will be back to the wip's for me!

Thanks for checking out what I've been up to!

Happy Stitching

hugs

Amanda

Every time I see someone stitch that bunny chart, I think I really must do it for myself - it's a gorgeous finish :D Your heart sampler is coming along beautifully too, and I can't wait to see more of your Elizabeth's Designs piece - funnily enough, I was tossing up whether to kit this one up myself a couple of weeks ago :D
