    Maria, some lovely pieces you've done there :)

    BEG, I like the blue tit freebie also, will look forward to stitching that one :)

    Well I took an ibuprofen and completed the pink bear minus the details. The photo is without the flash so you can see the true colours :j

    PAP, I too had a slight issue with my threads, I ran out of pink so got a new skein from my stash and its slightly darker. If you look closely at the criss cross and diagonal hearts, the left is the old skein, the right is the new skein.

    My goodness how sweet is that little bear. :T
    I didn't know that skeins can lose their colour, that's annoying.

    nmm that bear is soooooooo cute.

    Here's my finished fathers day bear - brownie points if you can spot EVERY 'unique' element in it!!!!
    HATED stitching it but once I was half way through had to finish.

    Thanks guys, I fell in love with the little bear too, it was so quick and easy to stitch.

    Chicky, lovely fathers day bear, I guess the unique bits is in the chair, that looks like a nightmare with colour changes.

    Not long just the name, date & possibly weight.

    BABS=bloody awful back stitching, where BS doesn't go through the holes, like tatty ted kits etc :rotfl:

    Ahh not too long then :T Guess you need to wait for the birth?

    Oh THAT stitching :rotfl: makes sense now, thanks :D

    Chicky love your finished fathers day card. Cant find the uniqueness anywhere ;)
