It's done! Another Folk Art Fusion(TM) project for my book. It was so much fun to make! I do keep saying that don't I? hee,hee,hee.
My aunt Deb and uncle Rick visited us this weekend. Deb and I had the most wonderful time stitching together. She helped me come up with the name "March of the Monarchs." I thought it worked perfectly with the continuing story in my head. See the Scarborough Hares post below.
Every Saturday, at Scarborough Castle, the Monarchs march around the gardens. It is there duty to make sure everything is in it's proper place and that the vegetables, flowers and plants are happy. They visit with each and every one.
This is a very fun piece to make. Hand stitching can be so therapeutic. I love that it is portable as well.
After completing it, I decided it would look perfect hanging in my bedroom. Plus, this is David's favorite one so far. What do you think?
Many friends are emailing me and asking when my book will be ready. I'm so happy that you are as excited about this as I am! Right now it looks like mid September. I will be taking pre-orders for it in July. Stay tuned for more details later.
Have a wonderful, fun and happy day. Hop back on Wednesday for a sneaky peek of another piece.
xx,
Michelle and the Bunnies

So cute Shell. Love it & the name. Must make a note on my calender about pre-ordering the book. Hugs,xx.
Your hanging is gorgeous Shell. It does look lovely hanging in your bedroom.
Oh so pretty and a lovely accent to your room.
Oh, my gosh, Shell!! This new creation is darling and it looks perfect in your bedroom!!
First of all, when you book comes out, I WANT ONE! And Michelle, this is a stunning piece and VERY UNEXPECTED in its design; I love every single block that is connected and yet detached from the others....giving the entire piece an airy and free-flowing feeling! BRILLIANT and again, each stitch is masterfully applied. Did the bunnies help? They like butterflies, don't they? Oh you should have seen Carlos this weekend in the garden, living it up in the sun.
Much love! Anita
I love this one!!! It looks so pretty in your bedroom, just delightful.
The Monarchs look stunning. I love the blue/green couched edging - I wonder what you used? Fab back story - aunt Deb came up with a great name. Can't wait to see how it all fits together.....xxx
I can't see all the pictures due to a weak Internet connection, but what I see in the last few posts looks wonderful!! Love your open space concept! Keep it up Girlfriend!!
I think it is just lovely!
Can't wait to add your next book to my collection.
Shell this is so gorgeous! I'm with David - this could be my favorite too. :) blessings, marlene
I like March of the Monarchs very much. Your stitching is pure bliss. It looks lovely in that corner vignette. Your book debut is very much anticipated with excitement! Blissful Stitching Dear...
Love it Shell,you make such beutiful things!xx Rachel and Speedy
Gorgeous and I love the story too! I'll be in line in July :-)
hoooooooo!!! me gusta

Love it. Your bedroom looks like it belongs in a magazine.
Wow....just blow me away AGAIN. That is drop-dead gorgeous, Shell.
Magazine? Somebody mention magazine? Let's see 'Shell's picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone!!!! She's famous.
As usual, just as cute as can be! We had 3 monarch caterpillars munching away on our parsley - they start out teeny-meeny and in just a couple weeks, were almost as big as my index finger!
I love the couching around the edges, the little pearls & the color combination - so very cute! Bet your book's gonna be a bit hit!
Michelle, every week brings a new and exciting surprise and I cannot see what you will come up with next. These look beautiful in your bedroom.I love all your work. You are so very talented. So glad you have the bunnies providing you with inspiration.
love the colour , love the design , adore the bunnies
Hey--Hannah and Harrington--can you slow down that Mom of yours????
