Humming Along - finished!

Hello again!

I have another finish; see, I do finish projects sometimes!

This is Humming Along, the second of the four Valerie Pfeiffer's Solos collection by Heritage Crafts. He was start number three of last year's Spring Into Summer New Start Binge and is now the second finish.

Here's how I left him after six hours of stitching:


And after adding the flowers and leaves:


And after 1.5 hours of backstitching:

Humming Along by Heritage Crafts
Stitched on 16ct Pine over-dyed aida by sewitall
Stitch count 70 wide by 68 high
Started - 18th April 2020
Finished - 21st January 2021
Total stitching time - 18 hours 25 minutes


The backstitching is very subtle on the flowers, leaves and body, but the little bits on his chin and head really do make a difference.

If all goes well, I am hoping to complete the other two in this set in February. Fingers crossed.

Take care,
Rachel x

Congratulations on the Happy Dance for this cute finish. Are they fuschias? They are my favourite flower.

Excellent finish! I love to see hummingbirds, but it's very rare here.
