I couldn't wait till morning.
Would you like to see what else Flat Nat has packed in her suitcase?
Her favorite things of course, needle, threads, Isabelle dolly, jelly rolls.
She packed so fast for Spring Market she didn't realise she grabbed odd shoes. Not to worry, I have heard at Market "fashion stops at the knees" so hopefully no one will notice.
Where does her suitcase live while she is travelling around the world you ask?
Just turn her over.
Her babushka holds the suitcase in her skirt pocket. She loves travelling as much as Flat Nat, just look at the little smile on her face - it's bliss.
It was suggested (thanks to Brad) that this could in fact be Fat Nat.
More details? - ok, the fabric for the stitchery is white Hanky Linen. The beautiful red floral, red stripe and green fabric inside the suitcase is from the new Flower Sugar collection by Lecien. Have a peek here at the full collection it is better than chocolate.
I can hardly wait to see where Flat Nat will appear next.
Till then,
Natalie xo
Hey - I finished my Flat Nat today and you are right she is such a handy friend to have around. Thanks for this gorgeous design.

I will need to order in the Peltex 72F as I only have the single sided currently in stock.

Flat Nat was such a hit in Minnesota and Iowa! There was even a man on my plane who was enchanted by her! Who knew FN was such a man-magnet (don't tell my husband, j/k).
I had Flat Nat 2.0 ready to be stitched while on my travels, but failed. I can't wait to make the actual version of Flat Nat/Fat Nat. Cutest thing ever. Just like you!! xoxoMo

I think Flat Nat would love to travel to my house in the UK .I am unable to travel at the moment due to my father's bad health but when I close my eyes I can imagine myself back there in the garden watching the squirrels and woodpidgeon.She could travel for me.
PS any chance that you will make you patterns available in PDF form the mail here in Saudi is not reliable.

I am delighted with your creativity. I love the stitchery and I love Flat Nat too.
She will visit Brazil? I would like to see the "picture" of her with the Cristo Redentor (in Rio de Janeiro).
Here, because of proximity to the World Cup, we are using slippers of different colors on each foot (green and yellow, colors of our flag). Maybe the different shoes have some hidden intention?

Just got just about all of your patterns in the mail and can't wait to get started on them - this one is too cute for words - and if you love give a ways, march over to this blogger and try and win some Vermont Brownie Company brownies! Would be great to munch on while stitching! Teri Dingler
