Dr. A's bottom green border

This is the best example of "Ignore the painted canvas" that I have seen in an Amy's stitch guide.  The stitch has absolutely nothing to do with the way the canvas is painted.  But Amy has created a great little three step stitch where anyone else would go with a mosaic or scotch stitch.  It is a fun stitch to do and works up fast.

Here is the green border below the rat. He finally has a body.  He is waiting for some feet and a tail.

I hope you all have a safe and happy Labor Day.  I plan to stitch all day!
