On Tuesday night at Brown Owls, I finally finished embroidering this piece. I started it in 2007 and the first stitching night Pip ever ran, and well only was finally two nights ago.. Lovely Catherine, asked me what I was going to do with it now, and to be honest, and I was just so relieved, excited and proud ( though I'm not sure I should be the latter) that I had finished it, that I couldn't deal with that other thought of now it's done what will it become. That finally step of making embroideries into something is not a strong point of mine, perhaps I will wait another 2 years to finish it off properly?
THe pattern is from first Japanese craft book I ever saw and Pip kindly loaned me, I loved it, it's very me, but you know i don't think I was totally realistic about it, you know sort of like when you are eyes are bigger than your stomach ( or time or something) just with my bears, i've been too busy, and then when not, still wanting to make bears, and the longer it sat there the worse the thought got going back to it somehow...

YAY for finishing projects no matter how long they take! Im impressed you stuck with it and its super cute too, nice work : )
You could frame it, or stretch it like a canvas over a wood frame. A pillow for your teddy collection or a panel on a quilt...oh so many things. I look forward to hearing what you end up doing with this.
Hi Jess, It's Suze from Brown Owls (and the tram afterwards). I love this embroidery, it's lovely! I looked through your blog and flikr and your bears are amazing. I really like Donald the Polar Bear and Colin. Very, very cute!!
