Stitching out of season


Every other year, the Cape Cod Hospital Auxiliary sponsors a Holly Berry Bazaar fund-raiser, to be held November 12.  A treasure-trove of painted needlepoint canvases was donated for sale at the bazaar, and one of the auxiliary members asked me to help her price the canvases for sale. What fun it was to see such a variety of designs and designers represented!

 I helped the sale get started by purchasing a pair of darling two-sided Melissa Shirley bunnies circa 1989 and wasted no time getting the little boy bunny mounted on stretcher bars.  Finally I have a non-magazine canvas to work on and show my stitching progress here.  Who cares if I stitch an Easter canvas as we creep closer to Halloween?  Certainly not needlepointers!

Can't wait to see what stitches and fibers you add to this darling bunny. By the by, I'm mailing 2 stockings to you tomorrow. They are gorgeous!

Also meant to add: Glad to have you back blogging. There has been a hole in my blog reading
while you were "resting".

Yay, you're back blogging. Have I mentioned how much I missed seeing your current stitching?
