I put ladybugs out in my garden every year and find them adorable. This is a fantastic quilt and I appreciate your description of your techniques. The wandering path from A to B and the little houses add such a clever touch. It is just perfect the way it is; no more stitches are needed!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402863183600409719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-51211825866650182842012-11-24T20:31:09.610-05:002012-11-24T20:31:09.610-05:00This is such a sweet, whimsical quilt.

This is one of the aspects of being part of a group who are exploring the same theme...even though your travel experiences to date are minimal, your perspective and creative approach to this theme is anything but! Thank you so much for creating "Travel Bugs" and the wonderful technical info that you have included. The Sharpie marker dyeing is fascinating.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154076191981373564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-37359233701330095032012-11-24T19:58:39.542-05:002012-11-24T19:58:39.542-05:00Yes, the leaves came from a silk branch of forsyth...Yes, the leaves came from a silk branch of forsythia.

Much more interesting then straight roads. Thanks for explaining your methods. Question: What kind of synthetic leaves did you use? Are they like silk flowers?Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368515552194912257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-48012134029103974962012-11-16T16:43:44.078-05:002012-11-16T16:43:44.078-05:00Judy, your cheerful and happy quilt brought a big ...Judy, your cheerful and happy quilt brought a big smile to my face! And I loved reading the back story. Thanks so much for such an excellently written account of how you constructed this whimsical piece! Like so many of the quilts based on this Travel theme of mine, I am learning so much about so many exciting techniques that I know I am going to go back and take notes from so many of your accounts. Not only is this quilt fun and clever, but it is so lovely to look at as well!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-41233769788997526552012-11-15T23:11:23.630-05:002012-11-15T23:11:23.630-05:00My first car was a Volkswagon bug that I paid $500...My first car was a Volkswagon bug that I paid $500.00 for ( a fortune in 1973). My guy friends installed red and black shag carpet and I had lady bug floor mats. Unfortunately they carpeted over the heating vents so heat consisted of a blanket in the winter. If I ever win the lottery that will be my first purchase, a 1969 bug. Loved your square and your story.
