Real Florida Gator Quilt

I bought a really cool panel of gators.  I decided to make a wall hanging out of it for a friend of mine who comes down every year from Jersey to fish and check out the gators

It is coming along

I made 6 X 3 strips for the boarder

 1st strip being attached

Making the strips

This is the backing.  I found some gator hide fabric

The front totally binded and quilted

One last picture

Funday Sunday.

 Yesterday was the day we all got together and colored eggs and pigged out.  I made cookies and cut slits out for the bunny ears.  The cups are plastic that I drew faces on with a sharpie

 These were eggs we used baking soda and food coloring to make a paste, painted them then

 dipped quickly in vinegar

This is my girl Megan and my niece leah being goofy

 We also did nail polish in cups of water

 We all had to wear gloves

 Was really messy but fun

These are the nail polish eggs

They came out kinda cool

 Eggs rolled in rice that was colored with food coloring

 I made a giant pan of home made mac and cheese with bacon on top

And finally dessert.  dirt cake with carrots growing out  :0
It was such a fun day.  I love getting together with my family
