Luci-Bug

I've been teaching my nieces to "stitch". By stitch I  mean embroidery or redwork. Remember redwork?  Well redwork doesn't have to be all red! The nieces were excited about learning so I had them draw their own designs on paper first. Then with a water soluable pen we transferred their drawing to fabric. Slowly and deliberately the stitching started. I left Ohio for home while the projects were mid way to completion. Several months later, on a return visit to Ohio, Luci finished her stitching.                                                                                                                                                                      Unfortunately, during the process of her hard work "someone" (Sophie) wrote on her fabric with crayon. Luci was sure this would ruin her work. But she kept on and now that she's finished stitching I will take her creation, add some "patches" to cover the crayon and return her work to her to be turned into a pillow.

Here's Luci's original design and stitching: 

  If you look to the right and just above the bug you can see the remnants of the crayon. And there's a couple of little tears in the fabric. Luci did a great job! I'll add the patches and show you the finished result in a few days!
