I love it. Did you stuff it or does it keeps it shape (more or less) if you use a fairly stiff stabiliser? And a second question: did you sew it by hand or machine?

This is so pretty. I am glad I read comments kinda like questions and answers sometimes. Mops asked what I first thought with wonder. I bet she done this ith. Your are a inspiration. I enjoy your projects.
