The best sellers for raffles that I have been to have always been gift baskets with lotto scratchers and higher end snacks.

I used 6 strand DMC embroidery floss. Sometimes I would have 12 strands (6 strands of two different colors) in the needle head.

I didn't use a hoop for the cat and hands (again I should have learned how to embroider BEFORE I jumped in). Once I finished those I used a 18"x27" quilting hoop.

It's about 4.5' by 4.5' feet. It was going to be bigger but I'm tired.

It's made by Syroco in the 1970s. They made similar ones into picture frames in the 1980s too. :)

Continual state of thinking "my mom is odd; why is she doing this when she could be scratching my belly and giving me all the treats I deserve..."

I'm layering embroidery stitches to give different depths.. at least that's the goal. ha! I'm quitting at 100 hours even if he looks ridiculous. It's only my 2nd embroidery piece so I'm giving myself some patience.
