My friend Diane sent me a picture of Brutus the Sea Turtle as inspiration to continue on with the wall hanging called Herd of Turtles. It must of worked because I made progress. Here's Brutus who came up on the sand to get warm.
Doesn't Brutus look comfortable?
Here's the Herd coming to visit him.
I have one more turtle to work on and then, hopefully, the stitching will be done on the top. I still want to dye the turtles a little bit darker and I think I have the solution. I won't know until tomorrow because my test material has to dry first.
If things go according to plan, the steps will be:
1. finish stitching the turtles
2. wash the top since I used glue on it
3. Dye the turtles
4. sandwich the top and quilt
5. Get it in the mail. I'm not sure I can get it all done and mailed by the end of the month but then they ARE turtles and perhaps they are moving slow.
I had to stop since my finger was getting sore. I'll take a break for a couple of days and then get back to it. I will have to remark the last turtle anyway before I cut and stitch.
