Meandering Frogs and Kitty Outlines

This market year, I've added a new craft/product line:  Quilting!  And it will tie in with my glass art. 

I fussy-cut this cute poison-dart-frog fabric to make mug rugs, and decided to try my hand at free-style quilting, that is, meandering.  It's easier than I imagined and I LOVE doing it!  


Poison dart frogs come in a myriad of varieties and colors, all bright and bold!
At the torch, I created a similar frog bead for the teaspoon.

For this one, I just quilted an outline around each kitty...another first for me!

















Tickertape mug rugs are so fun to make!

And ok, just one more frog:


















Thanks for looking and your feedback is always appreciated!
