OK ~ the entire time I am stitching all these little guys (and I am assuming they must be sailors), all I kept thinking was "What the heck are these bubble-butted aliens doing on my ship?"....plus, if you look closely, there is a lady one, too!:))
BTW ~ this is Page 7 of the mystery.
Christmas and mermaids have absolutely nothing in common except for the fact that I worked on projects with both themes the past couple of days. First ~ my first block for the Bunny Hill Vintage Christmas quilt. I will have three red buttons at the top between the clusters of holly leaves.
Second ~ my Mermaid Sampler by Weihenburg Designs. There are three choices for this design: A very large sampler with a verse, a band sampler or the one I am doing, the square one without the verse.
I decided to use DMC color variations 4030 since the blues, turquoises and greens reminded of things related to the sea. It is stitched on 32 count Belfast Flax linen.
Now, tell me, are those two little critters, octopus or jellyfish? :)
