And isn't she cute?
Such an odd little critter with short arms and legs and a loooonnnngggg body.
And what a face! Don't you love the look of mischief?
She's wearing a necklace made up of odds and ends of glass beads strung on a piece of pearle cotton. The big bead at the bottom is one I made at the torch. It just seemed to fit her.
She has no name yet. Sometimes it takes the critters a while to tell us who they are.
The drawing is complete.
All of this will be surrounded with a 3.5 inch border.
Now that the drawing is finished, the next step will be to tape it to the patio door and trace it in sections onto freezer paper so I can cut the freezer paper for the patterns.
This one will be a lot of fun to make -- lots of challenging paper piecing, a smattering of applique, using new and unusual fabrics, and developing a quilting pattern that will also tell a story that augments the story told in the piecing.
And this truly is a collabrative work between the DH and I.
Yesterday I finished my blouse for the wedding. It went together really easily and the fabric was a breeze to work with. (I think some of the scrap will end up in the dragon quilt).
We discovered yesterday that these had to be put up right away, so we (mostly DH, I just helped a little) took care of them.
To see a bit about that project, go here and take a look.
Today there are lots of 'around the house' chores to be done as we have California company arriving tomorrow.
Time to get to it!!!
