    Is someone a Xena fan? Looks like her breastplate! I guess you really can bring inspiration from anywhere – I can't wait to see your work on the machine Leah!!!

  2. Your energy astounds me.
    I have a question for you. I understand the practice practice method of learning, however do you practice one design at a time or just doddle? Love your posts!

    Both projects are so beautiful, Leah.

    I'm probably out of line for saying this (as I hate suggestions myself) but if it were mine, instead of drawing a face I'd try to embroider on a piece of mirror where the head/face is, a la Kutch shisha work: http://deepashome.blogspot.com/2011/05/fixing-shishamirror-with-kutch.html
    also http://www.embroiderersguild.com/stitch/stitches/shisha.html

    It's a beautiful piece, whatever you decide to do.

  5. One of the things that really interested me about this post was your comments on how you are organizing your quilting so you have a variety of things to work on. I like your ideas.
