Around grading and lesson plans, I carved out a little play time during the last couple of days. This is the result.
The faces were embroidered on the embroidery machine. The designs are from a “Quilted Ladies 2″ pack, which I bought from Sprinkles Sewing Center in Pueblo during their moving sale in April. The designs are by Bonnie Colonna.
Each of the crazy ladies I made is a little different. There are only 3 face designs in the pack, but I left the glasses off some and also mirror imaged the designs. The pattern pack included little quilts that looked like they were shirts to me. I decided adding them made the whole thing too big for my purposes. I added pin backs so they can be worn or put on a tote bag.
Guy looked at them and asked if I would wear one. I told him I would and his response was I’m turning into an old lady. Humph!
Sonya,
I love my lady. You are so creative and I proudly wore it today (old lady?) while out shopping. Thanks so much
ps…don’t forget to ask Jesse!
These are just sooooo lovely….it’s when I see things like this, I wish for an embroidery machine….but then it’s days like these (when I spend nearly all afternoon looking at blogs and doing research for a school assignment) that I realise another machine wouldn’t get any more sewing done, so is less money I have to buy fabric with! *winks*
