Noah’s Ark Stitchery - Kangaroos

I finished up another Noah’s Ark stitchery pattern as part of a block-of-the-month series – the kangaroos! This wee block is smaller than shown on your computer screen. It measures 2-1/4 inches square. So the stitching is tiny.

the kangaroos are ready to bounce into the ark
Lynette, a talented needle art designer from Australia, is graciously providing the free patterns on her delightful blog, Lynette Anderson Designs. I have a convenient link for you located on my right-hand navigation bar.

I am running a few months behind on my stitching. The block for the kangaroos was presented in June. I will be making the cows (May) and elephants (July) come to life next!

  9. Hey, Joan! These are a bit of a challenge for me these days with my "senior eyes", so I just take it slow, LOL. They are meant to be folk art, so a little sloppiness adds to their charm!

  10. I'm so glad that you popped by for a visit, Debbie! I am especially fond of my little blog greeter, so he will probably remain at his post for quite a while, LOL.

    Please come back and visit more when you have a chance! I'm having lots of fun with this blogging stuff.

    Yep, I was an engineer, with a degree in nuclear and specialty in environmental. Hahahaha, hard to believe it myself sometimes! It was a good gig and analytical stuff is just second nature to me.

    But now I get to PLAY!!!!!!!!!

  11. The kangaroos are so cute! I take it that one day all the different blocks will make one wonderful quilt? I used to cross stitch all of the time and loved it!

  12. Hey, Jeanette! Yes, all of the blocks will eventually be sewn together into a mini-quilt. The designer has a block plan to follow. I used to do cross-stitching or fine embroidery every night while watching TV. I've had to slow down because of arthritis and poorer eyesight. It's not fun getting old, LOL!
