Yes, I digitized the figures myself. That's what got me interested in quilting in the first place. My wife is the sewer and had taken some quilting classes. I copied the figures from Dover Publications Chinese Folk clip art and modified them as needed. I also had to pull the origional clip art into Corel print shop pro to delete or add parts to the figures to get what I wanted. I embroidered the figures using my wifes Brother 4500 machine. See ya.
