First Finish of 2006

Cherished Teddies Basketball Player

This is for my 13-year old niece to commemorate her 8th Grade Basketball season. As a toddler she became fascinated with basketball when she saw a WNBA game on TV. From that point on she was hooked. Whether she's playing real basketball, or on the computer the girl is good! She puts her heart into each and every game. I customized this piece to reflect her jersey number and her school colors. It took me 30.5 hours to complete.
