Meet Lenny and Josie / Giveaway

We have a winner.  I will announce it on Monday night. I  am heading out of town and will be unable to update until then. The suspense will have to hold you over for a little longer.

I had a challenge recently with someone close to me. They said they could make a better turtle. I am always up for a challenge. We stitched away together a few weeks ago and came up with two dashing turtles. We used Heather Bailey's pattern for Henrietta the turtle. I need your help though. Would you please cast your vote for your favorite turtle. I am giving away one of my husbands wood turned seam rippers as a prize to one of my voters. I will use a random number generator to pick the winner from the comments. When the voting ends on Thursday May 14th at Midnight I will post the winner and reveal the maker of each turtle. So without further ado.  I give you the turtles

Here is Josie! She likes to bask in the sun on rocks by the lake.

Heres is Lenny. He enjoys relaxing in the shade of the daisies.

I had to show off my pretty daisies in my flower bed by the lake. I planted these the first year we moved in and they have grown so well. They make me smile each time I see them .

The photo shoot was so taxing on the turtles that they fell over from exhaustion or maybe it was the Georgia heat. Either way you can see their bellies and underside of their shells. 

Here is a picture of the prize for one of my lucky voters.
