Tanja Berlin Field Mouse

My next project is Tanja Berlin's Field Mouse. I got this kit 5 years ago (pre-JE), together with the Red Poll kit. After failing miserably with the Red Poll - it looked like a bird fluffed up with Salmonellosis, I shelved this piece. I'm hoping that I'll be able to do this successfully this time. This kit came with all the threads and pre-printed fabric, which is nice.


It has very detailed (and complicated) instructions. It's more structured than Trish Burr's techniques - possibly due to formal training at the Royal School of Needlework.


I can hardly wait to get to the mouse. So far the plants and especially the wheat are not fun to do!
