Introducing Lonestar Lonnie

This is Lonestar Lonnie. I made her yesterday in that sewing class I mentioned in yesterday's blog. I was right about $50 being better than $400. I learned a lot, most importantly how to use the embroidery part of my machine. I still want to take the other classes, but this was a great start. The face is all embroidered and the star motif below. It really wasn't hard. I did mine in muted colors and everyone else did brights or metallics. The teacher, and creator of this project, had never seen one done like mine and she really liked it. She said it was more Americana and then she said she needed an Americana one (she has several like Heirloom Hope, Crazy Patch Carol, Appliqué April... ). She was thinking of a name and I said "Americana Amelia." She loved it. I told her if I saw it I better get a free class on her :)! Anyway, now that I know how to use my machine more, hopefully you will be seeing a lot more pictures of things I am making. Of cousre school is about to start up so I will have to neglect my job to do my hobby :)
