frog hunt

I know it's bad form to reply to my own post, but I forgot to say that I don't want to do any applique patterns.

Shucks, I was going to tell you about the nice one on Marcia's site.

There is a pieced frog on page 373 in 5500 Quilt Block Designs by Maggie Malone, ISBN 1-4027-2047-5.

And a paper pieced one at

Here is one that I found online:

I remember seeing a website that had a nice variety of paper-pieced animals -- thought I had it bookmarked but can't seem to find it. Maybe someone else here remembers it and has it!

Oh, I thought you wanted me to send you some frogs. I have bullfrogs, green frogs and every once in a while a leopard frog visits. So, if you every decide that you'd like some real frogs just let me know. Also, I have tadpoles available too....but I can't verify what type they maybe ;-).

Yes, I like it :-) I would definitely like to try it. I don't as much pp as some folks do, but I'd be happy to test it for you. thank you

Karen

Thank you Debra. I printed it out to use in the nap quilt. Hmm.....I wonder how it would look to have these frogs hopping around the quilt in the border.

Karen

Cute, cute, cute! Thanks Kate!

Karen

No thank you. I have plenty of real frogs here already. I have no idea what kind they are, or where they cane from. We tilled up abut 1/2 acre of our pasture to make a garden this spring. There were no frogs when we started, but there are lots of them now :-)

Karen

Oh, I really like that pattern! Thank you

Karen

I'd send them to you, but I don't think they'd arrive in good condition ;-) How big is your pond? I don't think bullfrogs are allowed in your state.

I'm surprised you don't have Pacific Tree Frogs up there. They make quite the racket down here when they're, shall we say, "looking for love".

Howdy!

Local Frog hunt:

oh, dont worry, I want locally grown, organic and approved frogs... it is a little black plastic pond, maybe 4 feet across, 2 wide and 2 deep (with a higher shelf). tadpoles would work best. sofi would love them! are the only born one a year?

I did some research and found out two reccomended places > I'd send them to you, but I don't think they'd arrive in good condition ;-)

Most tadpoles develop into frogs within one year. Bullfrogs take two years. If you find toad tadpoles they develop very quickly, within weeks. Toad eggs are layed in a string and frog eggs are layed in a mass - you'll be able to tell the difference in the Spring if you happen to find them in your pond.
