Really! I'm looking for a real good close up of a milk snake for my quilt. I hope to also make it part of a children's book.

good luck! I'd try a google search and just start browsing the pics.

There are tons of pictures of milk snakes at google images.

Yuk!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Show us a picture when you're done!

Yikes! I want to see the final quilt!

Hope this helps.

Good grief. There are so many and so different! Thanks, I've found a couple that I can use.

On my, I'm not sure I could snuggle up with a quilt with a snake on it!!!

Milk snakes are beautifully patterned and quite easy to handle.

Easy to handle or not I'll take a milk shake over a milk snake any day! Hey if anyone gets a pet milk snake they can name it Milk Shake! Okay, I am totally off the quilt track now... I too would like to see a pic of the finished quilt, and being a school librarian I want to know more about this possible book. Debbie are you thinking Eric Carle like? Your Avatar looks like a character from Kathryn Lasky's new series about wolves [fyi: K.Lasky wrote the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series for those of you who may have seen the animated owl movie with your kids or grandkids.]Hmmm do I get the too much info prize?

I should have gave you the one of the copperhead that bit me in the face a few months ago. That was about as close up as you an get!

I love the title of this post! I laugh every time I see it! Just had to say it's an attention getter!

Cybrarian...yes, you win the TMI prize! A Milk Snake named Milk Shake...OMG!!

Ewwww ... I don't think I could sleep under a quilt with a snake on it. :(

I'm having a real laugh this week from this board. Yesterday I was reading about the ugliest fabric contest and someone posted a pix of what they dubbed snake skin. The reviews were funny and seems nobody liked it. Well now here goes again, nobody wants to sleep under a snake quilt. What has me laughing is that I am currently working on an antique pattern called "Snakes in the Hollow" and I chose that same fabric for my snakes. The rest of the blocks are string pieced on foundation squares using multi color fabrics and prints. I think its getting quite beautiful and I adore it! Guess I will have to finish it and post a picture for everyone else to hate! LOL ;o)

Now that is nasty! Glad you're OK.

I'm not familiar with that block. Got to check it out.

Actually it is based on a true story involving my son. I am doing the quilt in applique with the story printed with each picture/block. Once it is done, I'll have my BIL, who is a quilt photographer, take pictures so each picture/block will be a page in the book.The back of the book will be a how to make a similar type of quilt.

Ewwwww!!

Hope you post pictures it's sounds very interesting

Have you check the encyclopedia.

Why would you put Satan in a quilt?

Oh, just a picture?? I was about to run outside and catch a live snake for you. Darn. LOL

You're looking for milk snakes and I'm looking for pit bulls! My, sometimes I agree with family and friends who think that quilters are just plain weird!!! (until they get something special made with just them in mind!)

Hope this helps!!

Tell us more about the book!!!

If google doesn't get you the pictures you need ask your local reference librarian for help. I've found them to be wonderful resources.

you had me worried there for a moment!

I seen a snake in the garden yesterday and went the other way!

Really? A snake?

LOL thats how i feel about snakes too but in a quilt hopefully it will be "cute?"

Well, for me, the snake-phobic, I would have to take a pass. I get hysterical just looking at a picture!!! I know its irrational.

Thanks!!

I have the text written and the background pieces ready. Now I have to design the applique.

Oh, wouldn't it be great if the snake had just swallowed Sunbonntet Sue? (I'm working on a Kill Sue Quilt and that might make the short list) lol

when you enter milksnake in the google search window and click on images (or pictures - can never remember which) you will get TONS of pics. Snakes in every contorted and curled position.

Well, you could look up that couple that were driving and had the snake pop up on their windshield!! Sheesh, my Miata and me would be upside down!!
