THEY SAY YOU HAVE TO KISS A LOT OF FROGS BEFORE YOU FIND A PRINCE. NOW, I NEVER FELT I HAD TO, AND I NEVER KNEW WHO THEY WERE. NOW THAT ISN'T QUITE THE TRUTH. I PROBABLY KISSED A FROG OR TWO IN MY TIME. THE POINT IS THAT CINDERELLA DIDN'T HAVE TO.
SO STEP-SISTER I AND STEP-SISTER II EAT YOUR HEART OUT. MY AWARD WINNING QUILT TELLS THE REAL STORY.
NEVER KISSED A FROG
I USED MY USUAL CAST OF CHARACTERS IN THIS QUILT, BUT USED THEM IN A NEW WAY. I MADE 16 MOCK-UPS IN PAPER AND THEN PRINTED THEM ONTO FABRIC. I ENLARGED MY CHARACTERS TO THE SIZE I WANTED AND THEN PLACED THEM ON BACKGROUNDS MADE OF SCRAPBOOK PAPER. THE QUOTES WERE THEN ADDED AND THE WHOLE SHEET WAS SCANNED AND PRINTED. SOME WERE SCANNED WITH LACE EDGES AND ON OTHERS I SEWED REAL LACE IN PLACE. SOME OF THE FABRIC SHEETS WERE PRINTED IN DIFFERENT ORIENTATIONS FOR VISUAL IMPACT.

| STEPSISTER #1 |
STEPSISTER # 1 IS RATHER A NASTY PIECE OF WORK...
SHE MAKES MARRIED MEN RUN AMUCK.

| POOR CINDERELLA |
MY CINDERELLA IS REALLY NOT ALL SUGAR AND SPICE EITHER. SHE IS RATHER PETULANT AND SCHEMING.
THE GIRL OFF TO THE SIDE IS STEPSISTER #2 SHE IS NOT EXACTLY EYE CANDY EITHER.

WINNER! WINNER! WINNER!
ALL SIXTEEN PAGES WERE THEN BUTTED
AND SEWN TOGETHER. A BLACK BORDER
WAS ADDED AND I KNEW I HAD A WINNER.
AFTER QUILTING, I WENT IN AND HAND
STAMPED WITH RED PAINT...
NEVER KISSED A FROG,
NEVER HAD TO!

ENOUGH SAID...REDFOX
