I was so intrigued with the technique Trudy developed I just had to attempt it with a picture of my grandson taken about 3 years ago.
My first result turned out pretty well even though that little smile is not quite captured in the fabric rendition. A few other details are a little off, too, but it was a fun learning experience. I did make an extra copy of the "cartoon" so I'll probably attempt it again applying some of the "hindsight" gained from the first run-through.

Thank you, Tinker.
Yes, Trudy is a QB member -- her user name is grammatjr. She's posted a few threads with examples of her technique and is planning to publish a book of instruction.
Here's the first link I saw about it:
