Some type of horny toad - isn't he cool with those ridges on his back?
Looks like a Peruvian squirrel to me - rather slick and well fed looking isn't he?
The kids feeding either alpaca or llama - I'm not sure which.
And a lovely alpaca face (or llama?)
Quilt!I haven't made a quilt in a long time and realized how much I missed it. So I broke open the sewing machine and worked on a quilt that I had pieced together for my cousin's daughter, and finished it in a few days. Amanda is a very modern girl, college student, artistic and when I asked her what type of quilt she'd like I expected her to say something Bold and Modern. Nope, she wanted feminine and flowery and girly. So that's what I did. Roses on the backing, lots of flowers and pinks and greens on the front. I hope she loves it.
Happy Animal Wednesday - go hug a pug!

Oh I love that last photo of the big brown eyed what ever he is. So cute.
I Love the quilt too. Love the colors. Interesting animals from puru I have never seen before. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful quilt! Love that color green.
You have to have patience to make something like that!
Nice animal pictures! It is always such fun to meet wonderful foreign animals!
HAW!
Lovely quilt Mim!
I want that quilt!! I love paisleys and old roses together. You rock Mim!
Wow, the phots are good! The close-up of the alpacallama is stunning. He needs to be a painting Mim ;)
Yes, still packing but not while my Ottawa Uncle is here this week.

Wonderful animal shots especially like the one of the close up eye of the llama/alpaca~ so sweet.
Your quilt is luscious. I love the green with white dots, and all the squares that interspurse stripes and dots with flowers/roses. So feminine but not over the top. Very pretty and so well done. Tasteful.
Awesome photos is right. Love the close-up of the llama or alpaca's face. It is begging to be sketched Mim!
LOVE your quilt; colors and pattern.
HAW

I went to Lima in Oct. of last year. What a thrill it was but oh the pollution was terrible in the city. Wonderful pictures of the animals. Did they take the long train ride up to the ruins?
Beautiful quilt. Just what a girl needs to cuddle in and with. I love the colors pink and spring green together. Nicely done. :)Bea

"Oh, I just finished it in a few days...." I can't believe how you just throw that out there! Like it's no trouble at all. This is beautiful and very feminine and rosey and girly. Super job.
VERRRRY INTERESTING ANIMALS, I might add.
dearest mim, after seeing this quilt, having one i can hold in my own hands, and looking directly at the studious, ms. em, i have a message for you:
think art fair at kj and jb's side yard in september. think that maybe you and lolo and i will have tables and we will laugh all afternoon while people stop by and say good things and maybe shop their hearts out.
myself, i'm smiling a mile wide thinking of that scene....

What great pics of the animals. I just love the beautiful eyes of llamas/alpacas. So big and very long eyelashes. I myself can't tell the difference between the two, but they're beautiful.
Talking about beautiful, that quilt is super beautiful! I love the color combination and prints you used. Very cottage-y. You have such talent.

I enjoyed the photos, esp the baby.
Those alpaca (?) eyes are always so liquid, deep and myserious.
The quilt is beautiful. Even though she wanted an old fashioned quilt I think you picked the perfect modern colors.
Mim your neice and nephew are both such beautiful children.
I love the hair colour of both of them.
The quilt is beautiful.
