I think this is my favorite part. Having all the elements and deciding how to put them together. Well, I really don't have them all. There are more beasts to be made but they will mostly be embellishment. I put a thin 48" square cloth on the design wall and I have started playing. After most of the decisions have been made, I will take a picture and remove most of the pieces and start invisible stitching from the center out. This thin background is not THE back, just a way to assemble all the elements. There will be a backing added at the end and maybe a thin, flannel middle layer.

And I was thinking that all this magic (Jude's workshop) called for a new pincushion. So I made one last night.

Moving along slowly but now it's getting exciting. Any ideas, suggestions, comments are always welcome.
