I made this for the owner of the hair salon I work at.  She is going to see her great grand daughter and she was looking for a lady bug pillow.  I told her I'd make one so she didn't have to search all over town.  I hand drew it on some fabric, and used black felt for the spots and head.  I am pretty proud of it.  It's only the second one I've ever made.

I just used cotton fabric.  I don't have any fleece or flannel laying around right now.  It came out cute anyway.  I stuffed it with scraps too, so its soft, but heavy.  If that makes sense.

Listen carefully to first criticisms made of your work.  Note just what it is about your work that critics don't like - then cultivate it.  That's the only part of your work that's individual and worth keeping. ~Jean Cocteau
