frogs!


Wednesday, March 14, 2007





I have been trying to upload this picture for over a week. I dont know what was wrong with my computer/this blogger but I was about to give up. Imagine my surprise when I tried one last time! Well here is the hawaiian turtle quilt. I think it's kinda cute. I have now moved on to doing some quilted frog bean bags. Well I guess they will be bean bags right now they aren't quite there yet. But the first one I did is so cute. I think I will do a few for the nieces and nephews. I made a blue one the other night. I have the pattern all ready to go for another couple of green ones and then one purple one.

Well, the frog posted above the turtle, oh well. I guess now I know how it works. Anyway, I think he's cute. I think I am going to go make a few more-they are just so cute. They do look a little better in real life.

Well now I know this works I'll write more later.

Hawaiian Turtle Quilt

This is my Hawaiian Turtle quilt. I got the pattern in Kauai when we were there in the summer of 2004. It is a Lisa Boyer pattern. I like the turtles in the hawaiian print best. It looks like this quilt is done, but it has a few inches of binding yet to go. I hope to have it finished by the end of the weekend though. I have a new project started and this one has been hanging out there for a while waiting to get done. I want to applique a few leftover turtles to the back of the quilt also. When I went to baste the layers I didnt do a great job and there is some puckering on the back, so I hope to cover them with turtles. I was so anxious to practice some more machine quilting, I didnt take the time I should have to pull the backing really tight while basting.
Well, blogger won't let me upload the picture so I will next time.
