Welcome to new and old readers.
This is my Marjolein Bastin sampler for those that have just started reading my blog. I have named this little squirrel Nutkin. Isn't he going to be cute? He will really come alive when I have stitched his eye as Marjolein Bastin sure knows about eyes.
I am getting so close to finishing this piece. It had humble beginnings. I would highly recommend it as a stitching BAP as the pictures are fairly quick to stitch and are really beautifully detailed. This is what I have left to stitch: a pile of pumpkins (so appropriate as I am about to pick mine in the veggie patch), the "Marjolein" on the other side, a pencil, half of the lower border and a 1/3 of the right border. Once completed I have a one stitch wide border to do around the whole stitching. This border is meant to be in a buttercup yellow but I think I will stitch it in a mushroom brown or olive green.
I will be away at Easter so I want to give you an early Easter treat with my TUSAL posing amongst my childhood soft toy collection (all of which are bunnies).
Happy early Easter!!!
Thanks for making a daisy chain in my garden...

Nice going - MB's squirrels are so cute!

SQUIRREL!!! I think "Nutkin" is a perfect name. =) You give me hope to stitch this piece one day!
Looks very good!! Beautiful stitching
what a fun job, but for me he is in the drawer. But I am currently working with a work of Marjolein Bastin named Spring. She makes beautiful drawings, so we can make such beautiful embroideries.
sorry my english is not too good. But I follow you.
