My Doodle Stitch Along

I was looking through the little deer track blog a couple months ago and saw a post about a doodle stitch along with a link to the Lark Craft's blog.

Look at that boy and girl! This is my stitched out version...

They reminded me of kids in traditional Bavarian costumes. So I had to join in this stich along. It didn’t take long to stitch up each motif and it kept me busy while watching TV :-)

But what to do with these little stitched up motifs? 

I was really happy that Aimee posted the idea of a little mini-quilt. I sandwiched batting between some muslin and started to play with placement of the little motifs on it. After I decided on where to put those I cut up some of my favorite fabric scraps and placed them all over this little mini-quilt.

I hand sewed each piece of fabric on it. My fingers still ache just thinking about it. But it was well worth it in the end!

But now I had another dilemma on my hands… where should I hang it? I don’t have many walls in our apartment that can be used to display things. So it ended up in the study. 

I love it!

Take care
