jbstrawberry ... you remember it from your childhood? Did you have one around? I love these old embrodery patterns. I have tons of them.
No, actually I had a story book with Myrtle the Turtle as the main character. My mom use to read it to me all the time. It's one of the books she used to teach me to read, long before I started kindergarten. I believe there were some poems, and limericks in that book too. I wonder whatever happened to that book, I still have a few of my other favorites, but hadn't thought of Myrtle for quite some years until I saw your wonderful quilt. I had Dr. Suess's Yrtle the Turtle too, I must have had a thing for turtles back then LOL.
