Squirrel in Embroidery

It's been awhile already since i last did some embroidery. I like it, it's soothing, feels like sort of a meditation to me. Stitch up, stitch down, needle up, needle down. I used a threaded backstitch in two colors on most of this sweet squirrel. I did the embroidery on a piece of felt which i later turned into a standing softie like project. Sewn on a back and bottom piece of felt and stuffed it with fiberfilling. I really wanted to make the bottom flat so the squirrel can stand up on it's own. I'm very glad with how it turned out. So now there are new images appearing in my mind. More embroidery to do! More stand up embroidered softies to make!
