So here's the finished Scraps, The Patchwork Girl of Oz. Probably the most appropriate Oz character to stitch!
Here's a secret for anyone using the red iron-on colored pencils for pattern transfer. It doesn't wash off, but you can fade it completely if you let the piece side in the sun for a week. This one needs some more sun time, but I couldn't wait to show it to you.
It's on a vintage handkerchief, which still has quite a bit of room left. I'm considering filled the entire thing with Oz illustrations, because John R. Neill was an amazing artist. I used to copy the illustrations all the time in middle school. Loved drawing them.
I wish I could share what I'm stitching now, because it's really pretty. Sadly it's a Christmas gift and you know how that goes...
