Happy Dance - Cheerleader

Started: 3/29/2020
Finished: 4/3/2020
Stitching Time: 5 hours 46 minutes

This piece came from Cross Stitch Crazy #256 and was designed by Lucie Heaton per a request for a cheerleader wearing red and black.  It's stitched on 14-count white Aida, but I changed the colors and modified the charting to match Kyleigh's POM uniform.  It's not perfect, but it'll have to do.

This is the reason I chose this design for Kyleigh's quilt.  Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of her without the sleeves, but they are separate. 


Finally, this is the last square needed for her quilt.  I gave her all of the squares except this one for her birthday so she can start thinking about the layout.  I did show her this one and she was very excited to see how I changed it.  

Next Up: Easter Lizzie

Such a perfect design for Kyleigh, it was almost as if you'd asked Lucie for it yourself!
Handing over all of Kyleigh's quilt squares must have been extraordinary. I wonder if she'll now start finding more designs which you can stitch her for a second, and perhaps more teenager-y, quilt? In the meantime, thank goodness you have charities to stitch for, otherwise you wouldn't know what to do with most of your small pieces! :)
