Frog Patch and Octopus

I recently made an Alphabet Sampler quilt and had some left over fabric. The theme this year is “Under the Sea” and I thought that it would be fitting to make an octopus to go with the quilt. Well, I still had some fabric left and found the Frog Patch Pattern by Me and My Sister Designs and made 2 frogs: 1 for my 3 year old niece and the other for my librarian mother. I embellished hers with glasses, lips, and the classic librarian bun. The glasses and lips are made from felt and the bun is yarn and a rolled up (clean!) sock. Each strand is meticulously hand stitched onto the frog.
