A UFO bites the dust

I love the entire thing so far but my very favorite is the snake although I wouldn't want to sleep under him. I hope you post pictures when you finish the entire room.

Looking good, Leslie! By the way, I love how you have done the kitchen. The wallpaper looks lovely. . In message , Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. writes

wooo hooo!!!

I love the way you did the snakes head - did you make it up as you went or did you use a pattern? I have a snake to make soon so was wondering ;-)

I love what you've done - in both the jungle room and the kitchen. That snake is adorable, and I can't wait to see the other critters. Are you using patterns or making them up as you go?

The quilt is beautiful, and I love the snake! Can't wait to see the rest of the critters. :)

Jessamy and Louise-

I drew the snake pattern on freezer paper that was folded in half so both the left and right sides would be the same. (bg) The hardest part was making the pattern wide enough so that the snake wouldn't be too skinny when it was sewn and stuffed. You can take your paper pattern and hold it into a curve to get an idea if it's going to be the right size when stuffed. I had purchased the fabric some time ago, so the snake's length was dictated by how much fabric I had- I added the black stripes to make it longer. I would have liked it even longer yet.... The parrot and monkey will be made from purchased patterns. I couldn't possibly "create" a pattern for anything that complex.

Thanks for the nice compliments!

How fun Leslie. You do such a great job on anything you set your mind to! Happy dancing for you. Taria

Wonderful, Leslie! But it's a good thing that snake is so flirtatious with her big eyelashes -- imagine waking up after a first night spent at your house and seeing a scary snake first thing! LOL!

Congratulations - have a big Jungle Rhythym Happy Dance around the room. I love the way it looks. The snake is too cute for wards - kind of a jungle guardian snake with those eyes.

Enjoy, and good luck with selling the house.
