New piece


Here is a work in progress. Even though this is in fabric, I consider this a sketch. Parts are stitched down with straight stitches and free motion embroidery. I wonder how long till I need one of those machines with the longer arm? I envision making pieces that are about 5 feet big. This one is about 2' x 3' or so. She'll get some hair, but that will be one of the last parts. Also, want to add some sort of border. I love black and white fabric and use it in many pieces.

Beautiful 'sketch'... what an interesting approach, do you usually work this way?
