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.

  7. Both of them are so cute, but Lenny is my pick. Turquoise is THE color for 2010; he's right in style.

  13. These turtles are very cute (where did you get the pattern?) I have to vote for Len because the green fabric is about as perfect as can be for a turtle. Great contest!

  15. I favor Josie for two reasons: the color contrast is lovely, and the fabric patterns complement one another so well. But I wouldn't kick Lenny out of the sewing room either!

  18. well, i've been drawn out of lurking to say that they are both lovely but Josie has that something special for me!

  19. They're both really great, so it is hard for me to pick a winner, so I'm going with which one would I buy if they were a local shop....Josie!

    I also like the colors on Josie more than the other.
