Well, it`s been a long wait (I stitched this piece in August last year and it`s almost February 2018) but my cute mom-and-baby koala pair is finally in print! Woohoo! π
This lovely realistic design by Amanda Butler took 55 hours to stitch (hmmm, as I`m typing this, I just happened to look at the magazine and it says 65 hours. Strange. Makes one wonder why I have to time myself if it`s only used as a ballpark figure but hey..) π So anyway, it took "roughly some time" to stitch and I`m so pleased I can finally see the finished picture in WOCS 265. π
I only took a few progress pics along the way because, frankly, they looked a little creepy until the eyes got stitched π but after that they started to resemble their own gorgeous selves (and the baby`s "rude" toe cracks me up every time I look at it!) π And now, I`d better get back to my penguin - yep, back to Christmas stitching... after all, as I have just said: it`s almost February! π #what12days #12MONTHSofChristmas
