Love her big bun

and the Audrey Hepburn quote was doodle stitched. I didn’t pencil it in before stitching – I just went slow to verify my spelling as I stitched.

I selected this piece to give away because one of my dreams came true this month – an art show.

Fabric scraps were layered on a piece of muslin and stitched, stitched, stitched. I added girl using a face and dress pattern found in a Creative Girl Art Quilt Pattern. I embellished the little practice piece with doodle stitching, buttons and ruffled scraps.
