After my initial blooper with transferring the patterns, I have to say that I'm giddy about how the actual embroidery is going!
Apple and lemon done; carrot in progress.
Ready for their close-ups:
I think the carrot is my favorite so far. I love his cheesy grin. Also, I am getting more comfortable with the stitches, so he is definitely sewn better and coming along more quickly than the other two.
