My entry is in the "other pets" category. The only pets we currently have are our wonderful tortoises. They are really more like "half" pets since they sleep all winter. ;-}
Please meet Joshua and Sagura on my Civil War mini quilt.

Turtles make great models
ReplyDeleteLovely tortoises!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt and the tortoises too!
ReplyDeleteJoshua and Sagura looks very comfortable munching flowers on your mini quilt....better flowers than the quilt! You had 10 day with that beautiful dog and no photos of him on a quilt?????
ReplyDeleteTurtles are so fun!
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show you all pets love quilts. They're very impressive.
ReplyDeleteMary, your family pictures are always a joy to look at....I know you enjoy them so much. The granny square quilt is so pretty....has a little "water color" look to it...And now the tortoises have given us another look at your fabulous Civil War Mini. I'll be sure to go and vote for you on August 9!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Love this "okay now don't run away now guys..."
ReplyDeleteLove your tortoises, they are so cute.
ReplyDeleteHa ha... I am sure the tortoises were easier to corral than some of the cats I have seen in this tour.
ReplyDeleteso tortoises are sooooo cute they look great on that great quilt
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mini quilt! Such unusual pets -- love the picture! Thanks for joining us at the party!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise to see tortises on a quilt...bet they didn't try to scramble away when the camera came out! Cute little quilt too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific turtle- my teaching assistant has one named Shelly that she has had for many years- She loves wearing turtle jewellery too.

Tortoises! They look great on a quilt, are they high maintenance as pets?
ReplyDeleteYour tortoises sure are different "Pets on Quilts"...LOL
ReplyDeleteWell at least your models will stay put for a photo.
ReplyDeleteTortoises must be perfect pets for taking photos of quilts outside on windy days! I like your mini quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat models! I bet they stayed right where you put them too? :o)
ReplyDeleteOh that's wonderful, tortoises make such wonderful pets.
ReplyDeleteI guess that proves that quilts are appreciated by every species. Very cute pic.
ReplyDeletePets on Quilts has turned out to be such a great way to meet other quilters. Love the "models" on yur quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow, what kind of treats do you have to give your models so they will stay still long enough (LOL)
ReplyDeleteI bet you didn't have to rush to take this picture! LOL
ReplyDeleteNow that is a first. fun!
ReplyDeletebig and lovely tortoises:)

Are these house tortoises? Love the quilt and the weights are cute too!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is wonderful and the models are just perfect. A pet is a pet no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you didn't have to rush with your photo shoot! Great models and beautiful mini quilt1
ReplyDeleteHi! Your quilt is beautiful and wow, turtles, that's exiting! We have special protected turtles "Careta Careta' here in Crete. Your shadow dog is also so beautiful! I think he was worried that perhaps you leave, too.

What an interesting pet. They look happy on the quilt :)
ReplyDeleteVery handsome tortoises! And thanks for your comment on Django!
ReplyDeleteDo they say cheese or worms?
ReplyDeleteI love your turtles on the quilt. Do they live in an aquarium? Your family vacation looks wonderful. I am encouraged to read about your long marriage. My daughter married young-she just turned 18 and has been married 4 years.
ReplyDeleteThe "other pets" category is really the best. Cats and dogs are fabulous but tortoises? Yeah, they're special.
ReplyDelete(the quilt is great too, but the tortoises really stole the show for me)
Oh, these are just so cute on the civil war quilt! The colors match very well.
ReplyDeleteP.s I´m also struggling with the JT2 blocks..I´m very much behind :)

ReplyDeleteAwww :)
ReplyDeleteso fun and original. the quilt is great, too.
ReplyDeleteThey look right at home!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen a tortoise, let alone two, on a quilt before! Very cute.
ReplyDeletetortoises! That's awesome. They look large...but how big are they?
ReplyDeleteAt least they wouldn't run off the quilt. Love this photo, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhata fun couple of pets! My husband asked if I wanted to put our 30 gallon fish tank on a quilt or I could "put it on the top of the tank and just flip the picture over..."lol.
ReplyDeleteAw! I love them! And the flowers!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet they are! I love that they "posed" on the quilt - a very original entry!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh... I was going to write how much I love your Takes 2 blocks... and how applique just seems to be a matter of practice... but then I scrolled down and saw these guys! I love them! Thanks for the smile... I hope you win!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the tortoises! Great pets and lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite animals - I recently digitized turtle embroidery designs. There's something magical about turtles.
