Bless you.

She is going to love it! I agree, a bit ugly but...very cute, too...

Looks great! I like it.

I can picture a happy tot bouncing up and down on the turtle's back. But if you ever feel the need to make another reptile....patchwork one, and save yourself the knitting grief. :)

I just know that turtle will be loved to death! It will be hugged, loved, dragged around, wallowed on, and anything else a young mind can think of.

thanks Iraxy. You only live 2 hours from me. I'm in Crescent City! We've been here almost 23 years now. I appreciate what you wrote and hope that will be the case.

Last night I made 3 quilted cloth turtles (stuffed with polyester stuffing) (not big like the one above.) I have to finish the 3rd one today. I will post a picture when there are 3 to show. Like to sell but no clue what one would pay. They are about 5 by 7 inches and could be decorative or used as a pincushion.

I have always loved turtles. Your's looks great!! My adult daughter has two Real turtles and one is over 14 yrs. old!! The other about 11 yrs. old. Wish mine lasted me a few months when I was a young girl..mine never lasted for years.

thanks everyone for your replies on the big old turtle. I sure appreciate each one. HUGS TO ALL

awe that is just too too cute!!!! I know she will just love it........

Thanks Myrna. I sure hope you are right! I have packaged up your small turtle and will get it in the mail tomorrow. Hope you like it. It would also make a cute pin-cushion. I don't know what plans you have for it. It is also just a nice size for babies fingers. Now who do you know and are VERY close too, that has little baby fingers???? ggl.
