Ruth Schmuff of Bedecked and Beadazzled is writing stitch guides for all of Zecca's Long and Tall series of animals. Ruth has started with Long Fish.

Why Stitch Guides Take So Much Time
Ruth Schmuff's lovely essay explains why stitch guides take so long. She's pretty organized, too. Mine take about 40 hours each, spread over 2-4 weeks since I can't work on them except in my free time. That's why I no longer do custom guides!

The website is the distributor for this British company in the United States. There are a series of Little Animal kits from Animal Fayre, and the guide can be used for them as well. It's a good demonstration that embellished canvases don't have to have a ton of fancy stitches or be light coverage, or be very hard, either!
