Blinky Bill arrives at his destination

Here's something I mentioned starting late last year:

If you don't recognise this cute little fellow it is because you aren't familiar with Australian children's literature. This is Blinky Bill. Actually he is pretty cheeky, rather than cute! I stitched this for my new nephew, born in January. It probably took longer than I expected because back in mid-March the concentration required for such a detailed project was in short supply. And don't be fooled by his cuteness – he was a tricky project indeed!

Thankfully he survived the aeroplane trip back to Australia and his new owners are enjoying him.
