Cute, cute, cute. Practice drawing some faces on paper first. Usually I go for one thing, but wind up with another. ;-)

Wow! That is awesome. Where did you get the pattern?

Lovely! I agree with Dunster.....I am hopeless with faces, mine always look a bit demented.

i'd use beads or crystals for the face

ha...that was one of my very first PP projects as well..still have the magazine it came from!you just do MICRON pens for the eyes, nose and mouth! Unless you are Amish and believe that only GOD can make faces...then, I suppose you are DONE and quilt it!

it was in miniature quilts magazine back in say...1999/2000! But I think they also published it in one of the book publications on Miniatures as well. Would have been that same time period. THey closed up in 2003 I believe so it would be prior to that!

yes little tiny black beads for the eyes for sure. Remember he had little beady eyes and a button nose?
