Ribbit

This little frog is totally stuffed and is really rolypoly but unfortunately it doesn't show up in the photo...

I have toted him hither and yon this week to get him done and on his way...

Cathy was so clever to include a circle on every block.  This simple repetition of shape unified the whole series of her blocks...

I was able to use 2 kinds of gold fabric, 3 kinds of gold tulle, gold netting, 2 kinds of gold braid, gold rick rack, 2 kinds of gold cording,  2 kinds of gold lace and gold beads and findings... cheap cheap cheap stuff



Just a little reminder for those who haven't tried it... use paper cut outs to help with placement....

    It might be cheap, cheap, cheap but it sure doesn't look it. And the crown is the perfect finishing touch - he really deserves it. I love the texture on the cattails.

    Gerry, this is the cutest block ever! I love not only the frog but the cattails as well! This block again shows your artistic talent with needle and thread! The crown is adorable and I know Cathy will be in love with her little frog prince!
