Getting closer to the end run on this one. After many an hour pulling out my hair (and stitches) because of machine problems and tension issues with my thread, I can happily announce that Pundit is on the road to finality. Here I am adding hand stitches to further emphasize the spewing nature of this loudmouth. I also want to add another line of stitching at the seam between the face and the background (you may be able to see the line that is there already...I just want it darker) After that I'll need to face the edges. Then it goes into the washer for a little surprise shaking up. I am hoping it puckers up and becomes a little distorted. Working with white fabric is challenging, I may need to find a source for a solid white cotton that is denser than Kona brand. Though I like the clarity it gives to the composition, I don't like the transparency at the seams.
