A smaller quilt begins. Is she at a picnic? Perhaps she needs a boyfriend? I’ve never added a boy but there has to be a first sometime.

I added this little record player on my yellow quilt with the girl in grey. It is so adorable, I may want to make another record player on a small quilt all by itself.

The photo booth accessories are stitched in place – they are adorable. Now to add the tape measure belt and perhaps a small sign about the photo booth.

She looks a little blah now but soon she will be cupcake baker.

I saw a photo in a catalog, a girl on her bike – I was smitten. I made the pattern and traced it onto fusible webbing and put it in a drawer. Seeing it now in this state – wow! I look forward to seeing how it shines with outline stitching.

New background quilted and girl added – I think she may need stacks and stacks of books.

I like the ruffles. I like the tape measure belt. The photo booth accessories are adorable. Am I ready to fuse and stitch everything in place? I’ll sleep on it, but the longer I stare at the photo, the more I like it.

I love how with stitching and embellishments, the personality of each girl starts to emerge.

With a few binder clips and clothespins, the shelves in my studio become a design wall.
