Garden Lady # 9 - Part Three

This is a continuation of 2 previous posts about the making of Garden Lady #9.

I started on the applique lady by working on the hair.  I found a good picture of a ponytail that I used for the pattern.

Here is the hair that will be used as the base before the detail stitching.  I always try to remember at this stage, that this is an art quilt and not a photograph.  

Then I made the shirt.  I used a cool little blue and white stripe and enhanced it with inking and directional cutting.

Next were the legs, wheelbarrow, skirt, and arms.  Sorry, I forgot to take pictures along the way.  When I get in the zone, I'm totally immersed

The pieces were pinned, then fused to the background, and then sewn down with an invisible zig-zag stitch.

I hope you still like it so far!
