I've missed the last two FFFC so managed to get this one done in time. Our challenge was to do an animal and create depth by reverse applique etc. I cropped a picture of a zebra and used it as a reference for drawing. Laid down a piece of hand painted fabric, with black overtop. Drew the design on the paper back of the stabalizer and stitched. Then came the hard part, cutting it all out. I used a blanket stitch with blue thread on the black lines. It measures 21x24" I call it 'African Sunset'.
A fun piece.
Thanks for having a look.
Heavy snow fall warning in the Peace, and it has been coming down pretty steady all day...oh well It is just about Haloween.

OMG Rhoda, he is wonderful! Great job!
Just beautiful - really love the painted background fabric.
Stunning piece! The close crop makes him even more interesting.
Outstanding Rhoda! I love your challenge and I really am impressed with the way you describe putting it together! Wouldn't seem to fit in with a Fast anything challenge but you certainly did it!
