I have some great news and a HUGE favor to ask, but first I wanted to share a little progress I made on my most recent sketch stitching project.
I started adding color with a little of my Urban Cowgirl winnings for the collar and dress-band, and some of a Bryant Park print for the rest of her dress. I had planned to make this a mini for my girl, but now I'm dreaming of making a large quilt combining these special sketch-y blocks with patchwork. I do have a plan!
And now on to the BIG news and favor! I'm hoping that you all might take a second to vote for this years Handmade Olympics happening over at the rikrak studio blog. I was nominated by a couple of my regular followers here and now I've been chosen as a finalist!! I'm in event 7 : :
