The Not-So-Little Warren in Nod....

...is growing.

Welcoming the newest member of the fluffle:
 
{"1842 Folk Art Rabbit" - design by Lori Brechlin of Notforgotten Farm}

He is stitched on 36-count Vintage Country Mocha linen with most of the called-for flosses (one or two substitutions....); finished with a simple, primitive, hem stitch and tucked in an equally simple and primitive shadow box.


May your fluffles be full and your Easter joys be many.

    Quite nicely done and perfect frame. I don't have the patience for cross stitch but give me a big hook, some wool and primitive rug linen and I'll be good to go.
    Happy Easter.

    What a great addition to the warren ( It can’t be too large!) . I love what you are doing with shadow boxes. The hem stitching is a great finish. I have several of my mom’s pieces which she finished the same way. Mary @ Hilltop Post

    Fluffles? Had to look that one up, super cute. Your work as always is fine and dandy. The Mr and I have just returned from a woodland walk but unfortunately nay a bunny in sight. Happy Easter my friend. xx

    What a lovely design. Your work is so precise and I love how you finished the hem. It gives it a special touch. A great addition to your fluffles but the cutest fluffle of all is little Mia, don't you think?

    Happy belated Easter my friend. I missed Easter altogether this year. I was sick in bed but I'm on the mend but still very tired.

    Hugs,
    Julia

    I stitched a mini sampler (1 over 1 on 32) and finished it with a hem stitch. This was my first attempt to hem stitch, and I wasn't pleased with the results. I think it may have had to do with the fact the linen wasn't an even weave. After reading your statement about a primitive hem stitch, that's what I'm going to call mine.

    I have one more mini to hem stitch that I've put off. Now I'm ready to tackle it and call it primitive.
