The design shown on the cover of this leaflet doesn’t match the actual design that’s charted. Shown on the cover are two bunnies dancing with a heart underneath and the year above – perfect for a birthday, and I loved the font that the numbering was done in. Imagine my surprise when the chart showed two bunnies dancing over an Easter chick with Paques written above. No numbers anywhere, and the cover photo wasn’t something that I could use to simply stitch the numbers from. Anyway, I edited and fudged around and came up with this, stitched on 35 ct Peach something linen from HDF using The Thread Gatherer Irish Blues silk. It’s stuffed with lavender and polyfill and Conny assured me she liked it. :)
