Behold the Turtle
“Take a walk with a turtle and behold the world in pause.”
“Behold the Turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.”
“Try to be like the turtle-at ease in your own shell.”
Wishing you a slow-paced and enjoyable day!

Adorbs. super cutie cute
and Good advice. I will try to remember those today as I attempt to get a million things done.
The quilting design in this piece is fantastic! Every stitch belongs just where it is. There is a natural movement and flow that is just perfect. The effect is both playful and elegant. Way to go, Lori!
Beautiful! Perhaps one of your blogs could be an explanation of the process. Do you have to work from the inside out when doing a design like this? Could you do the turtles and outside border then fill in?
I can do a post that explains more I do stitch all the turtles first then fill in. I stitch the border last.
Thank you Lori. I look forward to that post. Your blog is so informative.
Really sensational details Lori
That is sooooooo cute.

Wow! Gorgeous whole cloth quilt!!
I wondered how you were going to use the turtle and all I can say is WOW, amazing.
Your tutles are wonderful!!!
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
Love this!
Next – snails and other aquatic shelled creatures for an underwater wonderworld? Maybe you have already done some of those … I’m pretty new to your blog so haven’t explored your catalogue. What I’ve seen is simply mind-blowing … would have never guessed such realistic forms could be accomplished with FMQ. Thank you for showing us all such wonderful possibilities.
