The green woven background fabric makes for camouflage for the birds. I love playing with the colors and patterns, some pop and some blend. Always interesting. This lady argued with me about her first dress and I had to remove most of the design!

That’s the ladies for now. Next up, owls.

In case you haven’t noticed, I am trying out designs that I’ve used on my swaddled babies on these new big ladies. It is interesting to see which designs work and which have not worked at all (you won’t be seeing those!). I love the folk art-y designs and they seem to be highly adaptable.

Here is a detail of her hat-

And a close-up of the applique and embroidery.

I have to say, every time I sit one of these ladies into a chair, their little feet make me laugh.

I’m not sure why I am struggling so much with these ladies. The seam ripper has been getting a good workout. It is probably just because it has been so long since I’ve worked with this design. I was just about to cut everything off of this one but then I changed her collar and Voila! I was happy with her!
