Wearing 'o the green....

Since it's St Patrick's Day, I thought we should have a "green" block! This cute guy is the turtle block from Needle and I in Everett. We used two batiks for him. One for the shell and one for his legs, tail and head. Then, we decided he was looking a bit "flat". So we gently stuffed his head and tail and then used trapunto to puff him out a bit. We're pleased with him...hope you like him too!

Today, Jan and I had fun starting a new project! We had gotten a group from Moda called Garden Party and I had ordered it and the project sheets with making the quilt in mind. So, today we started playing with it. It's soft and very pretty. We'll be putting it up on the design wall so you can take a look in the next few days.

We got some oilcloth today too, but I didn't have time to take it out of the bags yet. Also, some notions and a few bolts of Asian prints from Kona Bay.

Another block tomorrow...until then, night all!
