- Nez -

French for "nose" (pronounced neigh) - since he's a little beat-up and missing, well, his nose.

Happy Stitching!

Update

Alright... so I've been thinking about how I've been posting photo updates of the Gnome-n-cla-ture quilt project, and I'm just not that happy with the posts. The photos are usually taken from my iPhone, and all wrinkly and messy. So I've ironed, trimmed, and re-shot the pieces and decided I'm going to re-post all of them (sorry.) I hope these new photos better show all the detail and stuff... enjoy!

Happy Stitching!

Square Fifteen : Gordon

This is Gordon... I decided on Gordon since he has a yellow jacket, kind of like the Gorton's Fisherman. Gordon also had a recent adventure... he took a nice little trip through our basement window as a blunt object used for an attempted break in. Don't worry, they didn't get in the house and Gordon made it out in one piece (for the most part anyway...) The butterfly lost a wing and his nose is cracked, no big deal.

Square Fourteen : Pan

Pan here... I think his "lantern" looks like a whiskey bottle, but I went with the yellow like the lantern.

Square Thirteen : Woodson

This is Woodson, our resident hippie. He's named (vaguely) after our friend Judson Woodward (also kind of a hippie) -- Woodson... and he has a bushel of sticks.

Square Twelve : George

I'd like you to meet George, he's named after our friend George since he sorta looks like him. It's kind of a long shot, but it works.

Square Eleven : Otto

This is Otto... he just lounges around... it's a good life.

Square Ten : Fredric

This "waggoner" is Fredric... I'm really happy with the way these colors turned out, super bright!
