I mentioned in my last podcast episode that I recently stitched a little gift for Dianne for her birthday. I spotted this chart in my stash and immediately knew it would be perfect to stitch for her. And since I was going to be seeing her at DFW Fiber Fest on her birthday, what better time to present her with it? Unfortunately, it took me a little longer to get it stitched and finished so I ended up having to package it up and mail to her.

Project details: Wee Wooly by Heart in Hand stitched on 32ct Vintage Pearled Barley from Lakeside Linens with my own conversion to the color palette I wanted using GAST, Weeks, Crescent Colors, and Gentle Arts Simply Wool for the sheep himself. I filled him with crushed walnut shells and used one of my favorite Anna Maria Horner Field Study fabrics for the back.

This was an absolute joy to stitch and I think I’m going to have to stitch one for myself at some point too! Dianne shared this little gift on Episode 94 of her podcast which brought a little smile to my face. If you haven’t watched her podcast, I highly recommend it. She is such a lovely person and an amazing knitter, stitcher, and quilter.
