Pindsvin, the Danish Hedgehog

Here's a little peek at my embroidery project for the week.

My sister got me the Pindsvin (Danish for "hedgehog") embroidery pattern from Nicole at Follow the White Bunny.  I don't usually go by patterns others have made, but this one pushed me out of my "outlines only" comfort zone.  I was stretched to do some fill work for the spoon as well as the hedgie fur/spines.

 I have to admit, it turned out pretty sweet.

(Did anyone else notice that my circle is a bit wonky?  Hopefully not too terrible for my very first attempt.)  Anyway, thanks, Nicole, for such a fun little pattern.  And thanks E, for such a fun little pattern!

Blessings, one and all!

  3. ok, so this hedgie is WAY better than I thought it was going to be (no offense). Also... how about some of the Carenesque curly q's around the border... OR a scripture verse that you believe is appropriate? I think THAT would be OUTSTANDING! But, of course, that's just me.

  5. Oh, I just thought of a joke I had to share....

    What's up with hedgehogs? Why are they so selfish? Why can't they just share the hedge?
