I finished Teresa's fan block and used the colors from the stitchers before me... I couldn't resist adding the little red-eyed tree frog. Her rain-forest theme now has the frog in addition to a parrot, spiders and a butterfly.
Actually red-eyed tree frogs are much skinnier but I was influenced by my tiny garden frogs I guess.
The day I stitched the frog it must have gone out as an invitation. We had a wild storm that night with lightening in every direction... We left the slider open as we watched the skies from the deck. Returning to the house we found this tiny critter in the chair....with a heavy heart we had to take it back out into the storm.. All our critters want to live in the house with us...

what a delightful frog you have added to the already beautiful fan bloc, I am sure he was watching me as I studied him
Yup, he is as cute as I thought he would be. And I really like the stitches you used on the fan. I'm sure glad we didn't get a thunder storm up here. We did, however, get more snow a couple of days ago. Thankfully there is no more in the forecast - at least for the next week.
Love the fan and the frog is delightful!
Your tree frog is perhaps just better fed than the average tree frog. That's no surprise, having enjoyed your cooking at retreats.
The frog is so cute and adds to your lengthy list of amazing stitched critters. However, I particularly enjoy all the beautiful seam stitching!! And from you - the lady who once disliked doing seamwork!! I venture to guess that this block will be all over Pinterest in a matter of days.
Oh he's WONDERFUL!! Love him! You did a beautiful job stitching him...love that he's tucked around the branch. Just wonderful!!
I love the frog. He made my day!
Delightful little frog!
