&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m new here, but hope to visit often. My name is Jennifer Rodriguez and I blog over at &lt;a target="_blank" title="allthingsbelle.blogspot.com" href="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/forums/AddPost.aspx/allthingsbelle.blogspot.com"&gt;Allthingsbelle.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;. This past year I&amp;#39;ve decided to find my inner voice and focus solely on textile surface art.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is Mr. Sunshine. My goal was to create a series of different toned sugar skulls for Dia de los Muertos, but I became pregnant with our third child at the beginning.. and well between my two little girls and being exhausted..this piece took forever!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is really heavily hand embroidered on the facial features and lots of free motion quilting in the other large areas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I found my voice is a bit dark and macabre.. maybe it&amp;#39;s all the Disney princesses I&amp;#39;m&amp;nbsp;surrounded&amp;nbsp;by..lol&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
