I would like to thank Madame Samm for hosting this blog hop and Jane from Jane's Fabric and Quilts for being our cheerleader! :) I would also like to thank Colonial Needle, our sponsor for this hop! :) One more big Thank You goes out to our pattern designers, Debbie, Cyndi and Madame Samm herself! :)
I knew from the moment I heard about this blog hop that I just had to join in! I love to embroider! It's one of those things that really relax me. I also knew from the beginning which design I would stitch. I fell in love with the design the minute I saw it on the blog hop button. Yes it's the little girl designed by Madame Samm herself. Do you see her there? She's so cute! Don't you think so?
I embroidered her on a white polka dot fabric in red Presencia Finca Perle Cotton #12, using a simple back-stitch. Here she is . . .
She's soooo cute!!! As you can see I also dressed her in a red polka dot pinafore and head bow, which I appliqued on and button stitched around the edges. She reminds me of this picture of my mom as a little girl (she's the little one on the right).
I haven't gotten any farther than this with my cute little girl. I just can't decide what to put her on. My first thought was an apron. Then I was thinking a bag . . . then a mini quilt. Oh boy! Someday I'll decide and find her a permanent home. ;) I'm curious . . . what would you do with her?
Thanks for visiting me! It's been nice having you here! :)
Don't forget to stop by and visit the other gals who are hopping along with me today . . .

Thank you for sharing!
The red polka dot fabrics look fantastic with the stitchery!
The design possibilities are endless but you could stitch up the boy block to go with it and made a little runner too?? Field is wide open.
I love your little tottler, she looks great, you can do so much with her, she will look cute whatever you do with her.
I love the picture with your mam, she looks real cute in the picture!
Thanks for sharing.

Love your girl...so will others wink..
She is just so cute!
I LOVE what you did with the fabric! Absolutely the cutest!! And I love the little girl with the Band-Aid on her leg! Precious!! Thanks for sharing - it put joy in my heart!!
That's a real cutie pie! Love the combination of fabric and choice of thread.
Having seen that little girl in person I can say she is AWESOME! Absolutely SO darned cute! Great job! Maybe she could go on a stitching bag? I think that would be fun!
She's adorable, Cherise! You will think of something to use her for, I'm sure! If not, just frame her and put her in your sewing room!
Oh, my gosh, she is so dang cute...I love her! I can't wait to see what you decide to use her in. She's just beautiful. :O)
She is wonderful! She would steal the show on anything you would put her on. Congrats on being one of the chosen.
She is just adorable! I love the applique dress so much and will have to try that sometime~
nice
I like how you did your little girl,very pretty. I don't know where she should reside, maybe she will whisper her own answer.
Lovely little girl! I do see the resemblance. She has been one of my fabric designs so far.
Oh I love her!! Great inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness, she is just adorable! I love red and white and you did such a perfect job! Love the picture of your Mom and Aunts, love the middle with a bandaid on her leg! Congratulations for making top picks!
Oh, she is adorable! I would vote for a miniquilt. She is too precious to put on an apron where she might get stained. Lovely work.
She's adorable! Love the polka dots too.
So you are the one who added the applique to your pattern. very cute idea. I saw your design on Mdm Samm's blog.
Your little tot is so sweet. I love the red polka dot fabric you appliqued for her dress. Come by tomorrow and you can see what I did with my little tot! Don't want to spill the beans today.

Whatever you make out of your little tot...it will be adorable. Love that you used a fabric over the stitching! Cute pic of your Mom!
How nice, she is so very cute. You did a wonderful job with your applique and stitching.
Amazingly cute! Great creativity on your part as well as nice stitching.
She is cute, love polka dots.
She is very cute! Redwork is my favorite embroidery technique.
This is so cute! I love red and white together :)
She is darling. I would either make a tote or a pillow with her, but she would go anywhere easily.
She is just the cutest thing EVER!! I love the red polka dot fabric.
How cute is your little one! So clever to add applique together with the embroidery, awesome job! Thanks for sharing!

Adorable as always! Congrats on top 2 of the day! Well deserved :) Love me some red & white polka dots!!!!
She's a sweetie in her red dotty dress. Love all the red.
What a wonderful choice of fabric with the embroidery! Makes me smile.
Darling! Love the red work and polka dots. Perfect!
Very sweet! I think I might just frame her and put her on the wall.
Adorable! I think she should be made into a mug rug but instead of a mug put that picture of your mother should be on display!
She is gorgeous
Your little tot is adorable! Love the polka dots!
Cherise,
Aw, your mom was so cute! I LOVE your embroidery. I absolutely love to embroider, and it is always vintage inspired things when I do. Thanks for sharing, you did a great job!
Hugs,
Julie
Sweet! I would frame her:)
the polka dots are such a cute addition and done is red is so striking!
I Iove how you incorporated applique into your stitchery. Your little girl is just adorable--and looks very much like your mom!
She is adorable!! I vote for putting her on a bag, pillow or wall quilt :o) to remind you of your mom! Your cute Mom looked like a happy little girl!
