"Spring Bunnies" start & finish_PLUS framed Jane, Heathcliff & Darcy!

I have this Gorgeous painting hanging on my wall called "The Bridge" by Tammy Mae Moon, which has a fox and a rabbit in it.  I already have a finished cross stitch of a fox (see it here on my blog) by Sewingseed, so I wanted to stitch up a pattern with a bunny in it.  I found the most adorable & the prettiest pattern on Etsy! It's called "Spring Bunnies" from a shop called PatternBird (click on link to go directly to shop).

I started it on Saturday July 28th and finished on Tuesday July 31st.  I stitched it on 14 count Sand Aida, using 2 strands over 1.  I changed the original color yellow to a mustard yellow (783) so that it could match the painting more.  Here is the finished and framed "Spring Bunnies":

I made a little mistake with the backing though... I cut the cardboard to small so it would not fit snugly in the back (OOPS!) But instead of undoing everything and starting over, I just glued the backing to the back of the cross stitch.  Still looks nice:

Here is a close up and a picture of it hanging next to "The Bridge" painting:

And now here are the framed Jane Eyre, Heathcliff, and Mr. Darcy I had done a while back by BookPilgrim (click on links to see them on my blog):

Mr. Darcy

This is the third pattern I bought from Book Pilgrim.  I have read Pride & Prejudice at least 4 times and I have seen different versions of the movie hundreds of times!  Mr. Darcy is always so hot and attractive!!!  I stitched him on 14 count aida using 3 strands.  Here is a WIP:

My arm is almost 100% better now, so I was able to work on him pretty quickly!  Here he is all finished:

He came out so beautifully!  Again, I am so happy with Book Pilgrim's designs!  I really should wash and frame Mr. Darcy, Jane Eyre and Heathcliff!  They will look spectacular!  Here again is the link to Book Pilgrim on Etsy:

Right now I am working on an "Adventure Time" pattern I found on Etsy.  I just love that show, and I am having fun doing the cross stitch.  I will have a WIP to post soon!

Jane Eyre

Here is another cross stitch pattern I bought from Book Pilgrim.  It's Jane Eyre, one of my all-time favorite novels!  I stitched her on 14 count Aida using 3 strands of DMC and gold metallic Kreinik thread for the brooch holding her shawl.  Here is a WIP:

 As with Heathcliff, I chose the colors for this project, but I really didn't like her hair color once I had stitched it, so I undid it and re-stitched it in a different color.  I really like the gold Kreinik!  Here she is all finished:

I am very happy with the way she came out.  I prefer this hair color.  I tried to match it as much as possible to Jane Eyre's hair color from the 2011 movie.  I still have to wash, iron and then frame her in a 4 inch hoop.  If you like her, here is the link to the shop:

Heathcliff

Here is an adorable cross stitch I made designed by a very talented and lovely girl called Sunday!  Her shop is called Book Pilgrim on Etsy.com where she sells patterns of cute little pixel people from classic novels!  I have bought three patterns from her so far:  Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights; Jane Eyre; and Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice!  Here is the link to her shop:

I started with Heathcliff.  I made him on 18 count Aida, using 2 strands of floss.  What is so fun about Book Pilgrim's patterns, is that you can choose the colors you want!  Here are some WIPs of Heathcliff:

This is about 3 days' work.  Again, I was working very slowly, a little bit at a time, since my arm is not better... But I did finish it:

I think it looks Super Adorable!  I am so happy with it!  Mind you, I haven't washed or ironed it yet, but once I do, I will frame it with a 4 inch hoop.  It will look Spectacular!!!
