Oliver here is Spring Stitchette number 2. He was inspired by Oscar’s newfound fascination with binoculars. The big fat curls were a repeat suggestion from the readers and they’re awfully cute. thanks guys!
Last night I was working on his partner in crime, Miles Mows, and after nearly erasing through the paper to get it right realized that his carefully rendered push mower just ended up looking like he was riding a segway! Not really what I was going for so I scrapped it and started over. Turns out I’m so much happier with what I ended up with. Can’t wait to stitch it up. Funny how that works.
Happy Spring everyone!
Adorable… I agree, the big fat curls are the way to go.
I don’t suppose you are making a Delanie? Or a ‘D’ name, with a girl as your subject? Thought I might just check…
*gasp!

Oh, he looks exactly like my little blue-eyed, curly-haired blond boy! (who was an amateur ornithologist at age two — completely obsessed with birds.) Perfect!
no miles mows?
i love your latest doll quilt so very, very much.
!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
As one of the readers who suggested big fat curls on a boy (like my son has), I am beyond thrilled. This is just SUPER!
Maybe my favorite part of the Stitchettes is their seasonality. Can’t wait to see Miles!
oh he is so cute!
Oliver is so adorable! And its my FAVORITE boys name! So adorable , im sure oscar will look like that in a few years 🙂

thank you hillary for the quick sending of the big footed bunny pattern! As usual a very beautiful little booklet! thanx!
Oooh – as much as I love Oliver Observes – I can not wait for Miles Mows…
(I’m just partial to the name!)
How did you just channel my friend Oliver to your stitching?? I knew a boy back in highschool who was named Oliver (we called him Ollie) and he had the biggest, fattest curls you could imagine! I was always jealous of him for having natural corkscrew curls.
This is absolutely perfect!
