A UFO bites the dust

I finished something quilty! I actually *finished* a quilt!!! LOL I
had planned to decorate my quilting studio with a jungle theme, but
with the garage returned to a garage, we decided to use the jungle
theme in the guest bedroom while we are gearing up for selling this
house. So far I've finished the quilt, bedskirt, shams and pillows.
Oh... and the snake. My next projects are the monkey, parrot and the
palm tree. First two pics in this WebShots folder-

Looking good, Leslie!
By the way, I love how you have done the kitchen. The wallpaper looks
lovely.

I love the way you did the snakes head - did you make it up as you went or
did you use a pattern? I have a snake to make soon so was wondering ;-)

I love what you've done - in both the jungle room and the kitchen. That
snake is adorable, and I can't wait to see the other critters. Are you using
patterns or making them up as you go?

The quilt is beautiful, and I love the snake! Can't wait to
see the rest of the critters.

Jessamy and Louise-

I drew the snake pattern on freezer paper that was folded in half so
both the left and right sides would be the same. (bg) The hardest
part was making the pattern wide enough so that the snake wouldn't be
too skinny when it was sewn and stuffed. You can take your paper
pattern and hold it into a curve to get an idea if it's going to be the
right size when stuffed. I had purchased the fabric some time ago, so
the snake's length was dictated by how much fabric I had- I added the
black stripes to make it longer. I would have liked it even longer
yet.... The parrot and monkey will be made from purchased patterns. I
couldn't possibly "create" a pattern for anything that complex.

Thanks for the nice compliments!

Wonderful, Leslie! But it's a good thing that snake is so flirtatious
with her big eyelashes -- imagine waking up after a first night spent at
your house and seeing a scary snake first thing! LOL!

Congratulations - have a big Jungle Rhythym Happy Dance around the room. I
love the way it looks. The snake is too cute for wards - kind of a jungle
guardian snake with those eyes.

Enjoy, and good luck with selling the house.
