Adventures in Digitizing

I often offer custom embroidered labels or badges for prizes.  It is always fun working with customers to create something that is perfect for them.  This project was for a girl who won a custom label from Cara @caraquilts, the lovely host of #Talknt on Twitter every Tuesday night. 

RainbowR, doesn't quilt but she does do civil war re-enacting.  She suggested some historic silhouettes.  I did several different ones.  They were a lot easier than I had anticipated but it still took me a while to get them to the point where they were recognizable.  This is the final product for her.  I can't wait to see what she does with it.

This comes from practicing yoga. "It's just you and your mat." I transfer that to my crafting, where I resist the urge to compare (and downgrade) what I made to what others make. And "everyone starts where they start". My "beginner" is different than someone else's. We all have our strengths and weaknesses

There are so many fantastic pieces of advice in the comments to my Words of Encouragement post.  It is worth spending a few minutes reading through them. 

Thanks to everyone for playing.
