New Toy

I have a new toy - it is a tiny camcorder. here for you to enjoy (or otherwise) my first short movie, taken along the river walk in downtown Idaho Falls. See - there really are falls.

Frogs!!

Lately my quilts seem to feature frogs and fish - I really don't know where all these aquatic creatures come from but there they are. Here is 'Fuzzy frogs'. This one has been a long time in the making. It is a design by Ruth Jensen featuring 3 dimensional frogs. I started it as fun project thinking it would be really quick and easy - I am here to tell you it is not. The frogs are made from minkee - a wonderfully soft, tactile fabric but a b---- to work with. The bellies are pockets so it could be hung as a wall hanging and the pockets used for storage. G has laid claim to it for her bedroom.


Next is a 'stack & whack' project. Started as a challenge from my friend S - she gave me the fabric to try out for stack & whack and the thing just grew from there. Here is a picture of it on L's design wall in development and finally a picture of the complete top - featuring the frogs - on display at the SRVQG April meeting 'show & tell'.


I also have a journal quilt featuring fish and a small art quilt featuring turtles - I will take some better pictures of those before posting them up.
