After practicing on a piece of card board cut to the size of the space available, I used my new favorite marking pen (Sewline) to "write" "Choose Life" Deuteronomy 30:19 in preparation for embroidering it. You may need to enlarge the photo to see the pen line.
This piece was inspired by a Jo Diggs' article in the May 1994 McCall's Quilting Magazine that I acquired at a Fiber Arts Alliance exchange. I plan to hand applique it and then later embellish and probably a verse. OOOO a hand project again!
After suggestions of adding ears and a black outline of the sheep and also my signature, this piece is finished - really - as finished as it's going to get!
This piece created by Carol R. is beautifully displayed now after adding a sleeve across the diagonal and a loop for hanging it at the top edge. Doesn't she do great work!
