I’m submitting this sweet fawn under a beautiful aurora borealis for my March prompt! You can find the fawn pattern here from Downeast Thunder Farm. I found a fun hillside picture as my inspiration. I embedded my fawn into my hillside, then drew the Northern Lights all into a 6 inch by 6 inch square. Once I pieced it all together, I added the fawn details. Then, I chose some spring colors, cut them into 2" squares and pieced them together. I added them to the top and bottom of my 6x6 base like so:
I wasn’t sure how the aurora would turn out, but I think it looks awesome! I needed a way to combine the “feel” of the puffin piece with the prompt of this month - something that would carry over the arctic feel without going overboard or being weird, which is why I chose the aurora.
Then sewed that piece to my on-going stitchalong piece!
Loving it!

That is so sweet. Great detail on the fawn.
A fairy emerges from her cocoon after a long winter’s sleep. Mere mortals see only a butterfly.
Once I realized that monarch butterflies look like summer to me, I switched to Swallowtail wings, and the project came together quickly.

They look like they’re ready for stuffing!
Cute, even though I loathe the taste of bell peppers.
