That is just amazing, fabulous, incredible, etc, etc! Did you take a class, watch a tutorial, read a book to learn how to do this? It looks like you've been doing it for years!

Yes I would like to learn more too. When I do a search, I don't find anything like your work. You inspired me to try this ... wanted to give a small wall hanging or framed piece to my daughter (of her daughter) for Mother's day. My first attempt is not very good ... think I need to make my picture larger. Any info you are willing to share would be most appreciated!

Thank you!

Thenadd the background and fill stitches in the face and body with thread thatmatches your fabric.That’s all I didand I have to admit it was just luck that it turned out as well as it did sinceI’ve not seen any like this and did not have any instructions for it.
