I'm still working in the quilt from my last post. While waiting for my order of Kona fabric I decided to work on an embroidery part of my quilt, the one that has my daughters' hands on it.
I found this cute paper piecing pattern and I decided to make a few to add to this embroidery to make it 25'' by 12.5''
Lil' hedgehog 1...
Lil' hedgehog 2, and...
Lil' hedgehog three.
Ooops! they're still missing their little eye! Anyway, as cute as they look they are quite difficult to make. The pattern has lots of angles and many pieces, which caused me lots of un-stitching. But I love, love the result. Then I set them next to the embroidered hands, and under, and to the left, and they didn't work! The look like the hands will get pricked if they touch the hedgehogs, just as ambivalent as a hedgehog itself... Back to point A. The good thing is that they do fit in my row of flying geese. So not everything is lost.
Happy birthday,mami!I love thelittle hedgehogs!So cute!

They are totally cute, even if they don't work with the hands.

These are GREAT! You've done amazingly well with this pattern. It really is in the challenging category I have to admit. I love these, they have so much personality :)
