Mental

I've been working on a craft project for about a month now and I've finally finished. It is going to be a gift for one of Roland's cousin's kids and I started it mainly to be able to play with my embroidery machine. It turned out to be a rather large(r than I was expeciting) project and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.

One side of the quilt is a Tic Tac Toe board.


Each tic tac toe piece has a crab embroidered on one side and a turtle on the other.


The other side of the quilt is a checker board.


One corner is embroidered with the turtle, another with the crab. However, all the corners are actually zippered pockets with room to store all of the pieces.




On the turtle side all of the white squares are embroidered with tone on tone shell and on the crab side a tone on tone nautilus. It was hard to get a picture of these, but you can see it a little better if you click on the picture to make it larger.



I embroidered a small turtle or crab on the back of each piece to represent a crowned checker. So instead of stacking the pieces you just flip it over to reveal the picture.
