On A Roll!!!

There's something GOOD to be said about deleting pictures from my hard drive...other than the fact that I can more easily find the ones I'm keeping.


It's encouraged me to make more quilts based on pictures I've taken. I have SOOO many quilts to get busy with!!!

My son-in-law, Pedro, took the picture below in the Everglades when he, Hillary and Sophia were on an air boat. 

this is a picture of my well used copy of Pedro's picture
And I just loved it.

So...I began work on Jerry's alligator in March of 2k10. (My hubby LOVES alligators about as much as any person can). 

I put it aside - for the past year and a half - because I just wasn't happy with it. But I took it out last week when I finished My Happy For No Reason Book and while still surrounded by the euphoria which that piece produced...

I got to work and finished it today!!! Yay-hey hey!!!



Label included! 

Just need to go find a dowel - or something - to hang it from.


I'm off to begin the next project!!!!!!!

  4. Wow. That is amazing. You've really brought the alligator to life using fabric. I can't wait to see what you do next.

  5. That is so great. Your alligator even looks a little more ominous than the one in the photograph!
