Embroidered book for baby Elinor


Heres a photo of me from last year - I'm holding up my page of an embroidered book that me and a few friends put together for baby Elinor, the daughter of a friend who emigrated to New Zealand. We all chose 2 British (native) Mammals to embroider and I went for a red squirrel and a mountain hare. Our friend is a big fan of native british mammals, sadly lacking in NZ, and was keen to educate her little girl asap! You can't see the embroidery very well but the squirrel's tail is in all in long stitch which took ages! I'm sure Baby Elinor appreciated it!
