Maggie Draws Our Family

My daughter Maggie likes to draw. It's hard to keep all of her work, so I decided to put sew them onto a stocking. 

I copied her drawings, traced them onto the fabric, then couched the outline with DMC thread.  When she'd colored the drawings, I embroidered to match her coloring as closely as possible...staying inside the lines as she did and outside as she did.

For things like the heart, I used felt and layered it using the colors she used in her original drawings.
