Not everyone would want a snake in their quilt...but this quilt was mostly my own design, so I went with a snake that we have quite a few around my area.
I teased I was going to make my armadillo upside down on it's back and bloated, because sadly that's how we see most of them...
But I made the quilt and let my friend who owns a local quilt shop display it. So Mr. Armadillo is upright and alive.

Rhonda I understand about the snake in the house. Many years ago in the house I lived in there was a copperhead coiled underneath my kitchen stove burner. I ran out of the house, and got my mom. lol.. She had always killed them. There was a sliding door to the back side of the kitchen, and others were always leaving it open a bit.
In another house I looked in my kitchen one day while sitting on my couch, and a big long black snake was stretched out a across the kitchen floor. Again, that house had a sliding door in the front close to the kitchen. I now hate sliding doors and won't have one. lol... My house now is the only one that I have not had a snake in. I don't have a sliding door either.
Oh my goodness, I can't imagine those two you mentioned playing with baby rattlers. lol..

When my DH and his brother were 10 and 12 they would stay with an aunt and uncle in Missouri. They would take firecrackers and throw them in a hole of a rattler's nest. when the baby rattlers would come out they would catch them and put them in their pockets LOL imagine the aunt's face when she found those baby rattlers when she went to wash clothes LOL

WE have one son who has snakes as pets, plus he someday wants to open a reptile store. I hate all kinds of creepy things, and have not been to his house since he started that hobby. UGH!
They are more than welcome to our house, orders of NO SNAKES ....
