Yesterday I put in a goodly number of hours adding stitching to Miss Shadow’s block. I filled in the pink of her face with scatter stitches, surrounded her head with yellow chain stitch and then began drawing scrolling curves with a fabric marker. those lines I followed with tiny back stitches. I also had to weave another thread through her name since the pink letters became lost on the collage. I’m still not thrilled because I think her face is wrong – the pink with green ears isn’t working for me, but we shall see.

Then today I cut out the pieces for the felt collage. I had chosen the Chinese Gong block and still like it a lot. The block design is mola-like and I was able to cut the felt efficiently.Now for some hand-stitching. This one was fun and I think I’ll do another.
