You knew I wouldn't let you down, didn't you? How could I possibly forget about the 2 Turtle Doves? After all, they were almost in the middle of the pack. I must admit though that you will have to wait until next year for the additional 7 days of Christmas. I'm sorry! No way do I have time anymore this year to finish the set....BUT, you'll be happy to know that some of the remaining images are in my brain, and it's only a matter of time until I transfer them to paper.
Without further ado may I present 2 Turtle Doves:
Don't tell anybody, but I had to do a search on turtles because I was clueless on how to draw them....duh! I guess birds are much easier for me...........
And the finished quilt. (Not very big at only 11 by 11 inches.....but cute, I think, none the less!)
You need to see how in love these two are:
That poor boy dove doesn't know what "hit " him! LOL Until next year....I hope you enjoyed the Peacock in the Pear Tree, Two Turtle Doves, 3 French Hens, 4 Calling Birds (my personal favorite so far) and 5 Golden Rings. Just wait until you see what I have planned for 6 Geese A'Layin"!!

What a creative mind you have! I just love these, all of them! They are too cute for words. Can't wait to see what comes next
I'm out of my chair at my computer, giving you a standing ovation - BRAVO! BRAVO! They are WONderful! I'm wishing you'd turn all these into patterns when you're done, because I would most definitely buy them! They are a joy to look at!
Too cute! Again! I can't wait for the 6 Geese a Laying! You always make me smile.
Great TURTLE doves !
I've enjoyed all of your work this year, and have just had another look backwards over your blog. I can't seem to remember the "five golden rings".....didn't see it there either. Have I missed it somehow?
Hahahaha!! Love the expressions on the turtles!
I just love your turtle/doves. It is so cute and made me smile. Thanks for sharing them.
Wow, there are no words to express... Great...
Send paper towels...I just spew Diet Pepsi all over myself when I saw the 2 Turtle Doves. I would love to be your next door neighbor. You would keep me in stitches...in a variety of ways.

Merry Christmas!!
Gorgeous!
I've just found you on Stashmanicure and I've come over to follow you!
I love it!!!
How adorable! I love the movement created by the quilting! Also the tiny knots details!
what wonderful whimsical quilts - what kind of crayons do you use - if I understand this right you color onto the fabric?

Saw you on Stash Manicure. I'm a follower there and here too. I've been trying to figure something out. Do you quilt the background first before you add your fused fabric?
I met you over at SM and am absolutely in love with your work. The whimsy in your pices is fabulous and I am so thrilled to have found you to follow.
I just found you! I love your style and your quilts and drawings. You have so much personality and fun. Thanks I will be back often. Happy Holidays.
Your creations always make me smile, even when I feel melancholic - as I do more and more before this year´s x-mas.
Thanks for cheering me up every time!
Turtle-doves! LOL!
A very merry x-mas!
