The Accidental Embroiderer

A commemorative frog

A LONG time ago – I think it was back in 2010, when the blog (and I!) were young – I posted a design of a little tree frog, which I think was the only frog I've ever done. Dianne, in Tennessee, noticed it and said it reminded her of a little tree frog that used to go on expeditions with her and her husband in their camper van, and she stitched it into a little banner to commemorate their travelling companion, which she's just sent me.

Happy days – just us and the frog in the camper van!

 

I think the frog is gone now, but I hope that this little quilt will remind them of him for some time to come!

Thanks, Dianne, for sending me the photo of your beautiful work

  1. I love the the fabrics that she used to stitch out your adorable frog. The quilting stitches that she used for the background fabrics really adds a lot to the overall effect.

  2. Love this, both the embroidery and quilting. Dianne and you are both very talented.

  3. Thank you ladies for your kind words, and thank you, Mia for our frog! It is now hanging in our camper – as he traveled with us for over 5 yrs. This was a fun project that took way too long to finish and so glad it is now where it was meant to be. Thank you Mia, for sharing him with everyone on your blog. Love stitching your creative designs into fun projects.
