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!

That is absolutely stunning!

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?

DebraK 11-11-2010 05:09 PM

Your pieces are always so beautifully stated.

Coincidence?-other things I have been searching (ie little namebrand shoes for GD) ads would show up. I'm not seaching anymore-no ads. The topics or content of a thread will reflect in ads! Start noticing thread content and ad content-hmmmmm........

What a wonderful wall hanging. I love your quilting. It adds so much to the panel. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous, love it!

sewbizgirl 11-11-2010 07:38 PM

Lovely and unusual quilted artwork!

maureenann 11-11-2010 07:45 PM

The panel is from Indonesia... so I can't claim the artwork as mine. Since my book is about the turtles, though, I thought it was just the thing I wanted! The Indonesian batiks are great... such gorgeous colors and, as you have said, movement.

trisha 11-11-2010 08:04 PM

You are wonderfully talented.

miss_ticky2 11-11-2010 08:09 PM

OMGosh! How CUTE!

kapatt 11-12-2010 07:37 AM

That is really nice and helpful to me. I'm going to make a quilt with dolphin panels for my nephew. The way you quilted the water is what I'll do too. The quilting helps to give the right affect.
Thanks for posting. :thumbup:
