Sneak Peek at a New Project: Which Beaver Is the Cutest?

Hand-drawn cartoon bears and animals sketch for new quilting project on Shiny Happy World, July 2018.

I’m making a new project for the Back to School series at Sulky – and I needed a beaver.

Not a quilted beaver. . .

Adorable crocheted beaver plush toy handmade crochet animal toy, perfect for kids or decor.

For the project I had in mind I needed to embroider a beaver – and I wanted to see him from head to toe.

I sat down to draw some sketches and then remembered that my husband had a whole page of adorable beaver drawings in his airplane sketchbook.

Hand-drawn cartoon bear and animal illustrations on paper, cute and playful sketches.

Perfect!

You might think it was hard to choose between all those sweet faces – but I had my favorite picked out with one glance. It’s the one down in the right corner.

Isn’t he a cutie?

Now for a much harder decision. . .

Choosing thread!

That lucky beaver has something colorful to chomp on, so I get to dip into the rainbow. 🙂 So many colors to choose from! And these are only about half of my stash of Sulky Petites 12 wt. thread. (You can read my review of this thread here.)

Final project coming Saturday! It’s going to be a free pattern. 🙂

Update – the free pattern is here now!

Happy stitching!

Best,
Wendi
