Trumpet blowing!

My nephew loves Charlie and Lola and while watching it with him the other day I thought how easy it might be to incorporate a bit of applique and freestyle embroidery and reproduce an image.


Now I realise with all the copyright issues, I can't reproduce anything to sell, but for a 2 year old to put on his bed I didn't think that would be a problem.


So, I set to work. What fun I had!


Cutting, snipping, oohhing, ahhing I was in applique heaven. After about 3 hours, this is what I had produced.










I delivered it to him yesterday evening to more oohhs and aahhs.

I know it sounds like I'm blowing my own trumpet, but I was rather pleased with it!
