As I don't want to bore you with more boring border progress, I've decided to go back in time to a post from 2010. Enjoy.
There are new bird photos below...
Design - "Alphabet Bunny"
Pamphlet - "The Bunny Collection"
Designer - JBW Designs
Fabric - 28 count Antique White Cashel
Floss - DMC
Started - 27 June 2010
Completed - 9 July 2010
While this pattern required lots of color changes - a little light green, then a small dark green letter, then more light green - it was a fun stitch. The designer included a micro pattern of cabbages, and I added that to the bottom of my bunny.
I had the perfect dark green Pine Mountain pillow insert at hand.
The bird and the bunny garden ornaments approved!
All in all, a successful stitch - there are four more bunny patterns in this series - I think the pink Gingham Bunny is calling out my name!
We've been pretty heavy with Anna's Hummingbirds lately.
The Rufuos are more bashful, so it was nice to have a pair stop by on Easter.
Here is the handsome copper-colored male.

He arrived at the feeder first and then perched on the porch watching...
Then the female arrived and had a bite to eat.
The female Rufuos is easily mistaken as an Anna's - but she has brown tail feathers and brown chest feathers mixing among iridescent green.
Your header is so pretty. I''m glad I dropped by before it changes.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen a lot of hummingbird activity this year as well. I'm buzzed regularly!
I always love seeing those hummingbirds upclose :D
ReplyDeleteI think I have asked you this before but how do you do your header picture, what do you use?
Thank You
So beautiful..
ReplyDeleteYour stitching and header and very sweet photos.

The bunny finish is cute.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your hummingbirds. The brown colour of the male Rufuos is one I haven't seen before. Very nice!
Phew.....I just finished going through all if your posts that I was behind on...I always enjoy your adventures stitches and beautiful nature photos ~ thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletePrecious alphabet bunny! So sweet! And I love the bird photos! I love beautiful birds--always have. This may seem odd, but I have one smallish box that I keep bird feathers in, when I find them. I think they are so lovely and pretty to look at!
ReplyDeleteAh hummingbirds! I do love them so! Love that rabbit and the pillow finish for it. Love those ones that you just insert, so easy.
ReplyDeleteI love these JBW designs, they are simple and effective too.
ReplyDeleteI stitched the cat one several times last year, one for each month!
The copper colored male is quite handsome!
ReplyDeleteLove your bunny! Amazing hummingbird pictures Beth! Have a great week.
