And mostly, the answer was tea towels...
After I was introduced to the wonderful blog phenomenon and the patterns and ideas shared within, I made some softies and many, many onesies.
Martha, at Q is for Quilter, introduced the idea of using coloring books as embroidery patterns to me. Previously, I always depended on hot iron transfer designs, but after seeing Martha's wonderful projects, a new source of inspiration was opened up to me.
This weekend, I ventured into another area of design source - photographs!
My original plan was to try some landscapes, but I decided to try a 'portrait'. I will never have the artistic creativity to do portraits as wonderful as Jenny Hart, but I think it turned out to be a passing likeness.
But the test will be if anyone recognizes it!

WOW, incredible! How did you do this from a photograph? My bet is that it's somebody's Best Dog. I may be wrong ...
Nice stitching! I really do want to know the process you went through!
I think I recognize that lop ear and off centered tag! Can't wait the Guy to see it. That is really so cool.
Lynne - you are correct! I am sure it was logical deduction more than the likeness, but it was a good bet!
I will share the process tomorrow.
DS - The Mister suggested I put her name on the tag, so I knew it wasn't a spot on likeness...
Nice job. Your skills are certainly developing nicely! Mom would be proud.
Yay! That turned out so well! I must try this!
What a great source of inspiration. I have admired Jenny's work, but I always felt the photo thing was beyond my ability....but, maybe not -- your first attempt is fabulous. I can't wait to hear about the technique -- my head is swimming with ideas.
