My First Easter Stitch!

Finally, my first Easter stitch has done! whew... It took me to stitch a long time, so I was a bit tired, but I was thinking how to finish it in my mind and I thought my idea would be lovely, so today I stitched for a long time and desperate to finish it!

This is "Hare's Easter (Freebie)" from Plum Street Samplers.
When I saw this design at
Nancy's blog, I fell in love with this and wanted to stitch soon!
My first priority was the Easter design (CEC#109) that
Su stitched earlier, but the shop I ordered has no stock, so I have been waiting some new stash include CEC#109 now!

Nancy was stitched on natural coloured linen, but I tried to stitch on pink one.
This is stitched on Zweigart 28ct Jubilee (Carnation Pink) that my friend
Cindy gave me before!
I finished this piece like below.

I used a bit fat flat board and wrapped it with pink stripe fabric, then added stitched piece with quilt batting and also added pom pom trim around the edge.

There was blank area both on the top and bottom so I added pink ribbon for both areas.
I think it made this more prettier than nothing!

While I was stitching, it took me so long time so I was a bit fed up with this, but I'm now so satisfied the result very much!
I don't even know why it took time so much, though...

It became so lovely and sweet, but I just wanted to stitch Easter design for my first try, so made it aimlessly, so my mum now wants to have this and she looks so happy!
She also said that this turned out so lovely!

Finishing work was so fun!
uhmmm, now I'm looking at this finished piece and thinking to bring it back to my house, lol
(Sorry mum! lol)
Tomorrow morning, I'm looking forward to hearing Sweeties opinion about this, as he loves bunnies!

If I could, and my new stash would reach me safely in time, I would like to stitch one more Easter design!
Until then, I will try to stitch new Goode Huswife one!

Thanks for visiting + Happy Stitching!
