Dr. Suess embroidered art rag quilt

Your embroidery is phenomenal. What a steady hand you have. Can't believe the work you put into this and it shows. But then grandchildren are more than worth it aren't they? Keep designing, you definitely have a talent. Can't wait to see more!

Hi Mary,
I went online and looked up Dr. Suess pictures, used some books as well, I used thermal embroidery topper (plastic that you embroider over to keep the nap down on the fabric so the thread will be under, then you iron and it melts away) to trace what I wanted to embroider. I hooped the fabric, then just started sewing on a straight stich with a embroider foot (I have a Brother embroidery machine-but this is free hand embroidery). It is like coloring with thread.
