Country Companions finally finished

Have finally finished the background for my Country Companions, open RR piece so, will be sending this on to Sue today. Have had to put Pooh bear down again now as the RRs are arriving fast. Ive recieved Ruths (USA) Fantasy piece which I have already started on at the bottom & Susans (Canada) Open RR. She has chosen 'whimsical animals' as her theme & we are all stitching on seperate aida squares which she will be making up into a quilt. The Cat & mouse piccie is the 1st square that Susan stitched herself. I will be getting on with Joys Teddy RR this week as its due to be posted soon.
