Jungle-Themed Wall-Hanging

First photo teaser of the jungle-themed wall-hanging I'm working on. This one will be 90% green, so lots of texture contrast needed.

Cute Fuzzy Owl

I started amigurumi after seeing Chris at book-a-rama's Love Birds. Finding out that yarn companies have free patterns just adds fuel to the fire. Here's the pattern I just followed from Coats and Clark ( I agree with them -- it is the "cutest little owl"):

I've taken a small break from quilting to work on some more Japanese crochet (Amigurumi) toys. Here's a pic of the turtle family in progress now:

This pattern is in Ana Paula Rimoil's book Amigurumi Two!

Finished!

Finished both these baby quilts over the weekend. Phew!
