Here are some closeups of the embroidery and quilting I've done so far. I still need to shade in his neck a little so it blends with the arm socket under the shell. I little more quilting and it will be ready to block, bind and finish! This is one of the fastest projects I've ever completed.

Its been awhile since I stopped by your blog and the sea turtle is a treat for the eyes.
This is gorgeous. I love what you've been able to do with the quilting.
Dianna,
Your turtle is so enchanting...I love it. I remember snorkeling off of Mauii and seeing a turtle swimming through the glistening water. You have captured him (or her).
And, I had the opportunity to take a class from Esterita last year and her lessons on using white are still with me. It was one of the best classes I've ever taken.
Thanks for sharing

amazing..thats all I can say
Honu is wonderful!! Hope you're enjoying your new Janome too
Pamelala of Canada is right...fantastico! Aren't Teri's classes the best? I was ready to quit taking quilt-teacher classes, then I chanced on a day with Teri.... I'm taking another day class w/ith her this summer!
Cheers, Sarah
Dianna, I'm sorry to be so dilatory in responding, but yes, the irridescent pieces in my "Night Garden" are 3-d. I sewed them into the seams, and they sort of waver down the piece. I love this technique, and I want do to more small pieces like this, and then launch into something larger. thanks for commenting!
