Rhonda Bracey: At Random

This cute little dog panel will be ideal for a young child. I loved how the backing fabric and the border fabric matched the central panel, so I expect the maker either purchased all the fabrics together, or purchased it as a kit.

I started by stitching in the ditch around all the borders and the dog, the crayons, and the lettering. Then I echo stitched around the central elements, followed by a small shell filler.

I then stitched some motifs in a couple of the borders, followed by a meandering stipple in the outer blue border.
