Rachel Grace's birth announcement
I didn't post this sooner because it's been sitting for a few months to be put together and sent to Gina. Yes, Rachel is now about 10 months old, but well, better late than never, aye? =) But they loved it.
Designer: whoever does BP patterns, this is from the Alphabets booklet
Fabric: 14 ct. aida, IIRC
Started: July or August 2008
Finished stitching: July/August?/September? 2008
Framed/finished: Feb. 8, 2009
Goofs: more like hindsight, I should have used a darker pink for her name and info.
Beatrix Potter's alphabet (http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/itemdetail.pl?item=4099). I used the "R" and I forget which letter the bunny I used was on... "G" maybe. And used a Potter-ish pink color rather than the green they suggest.
Modeled the swirly backstitching from the BP growth chart (http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/itemdetail.pl?item=4098)
And I used a quote from one of the books.
