Free Spirit
Here we are at Part 3 in the Faces in Fabric series. I call this one Free Spirit. I loved doing the hair on this one! I forgot to get photos earlier in the process, but if you look closely at the photos below you'll see what a difference a tweak in the hair makes.
I became a bit more confident with the quilting here. I like how the face came out. Someone mentioned feeling like machine quilting this way was a bit too much for them. If that applies to you too, I suggest taking a look at Melissa's book. There are many examples of straight line cross hatch quilting that covers the whole piece. I think it looks really great. I will give that a try at some point too.
There are two more parts of this series to come. Meanwhile, to catch up follow these links: Part 1, Part 2. Just curious, would you be interested in greeting cards made from these faces? I am considering it after getting the suggestion from one of my readers. Thanks!
Added a purple bit in the bottom left.
Adjusted the bangs a bit.
Added another bang piece and trimmed the bottom edges.
