I quilted this small hanging to commemorate the launching of my latest mid-grade book, "Yuri's Brush With Magic," which features loggerhead turtles among other things. The turtles come from an Indonesian batik,not North Carolina beaches, but I liked their quirkiness!

Very cool - kind of a coincidence that the ad at the bottom of this page is for a youtube video entitled "Sea Turtles in Streets".

Stunning...love the colour, movement, the look of the turtles...Do you ever use your quilts as book illustrations?
