C'mon and see, see, see, Tennessee Tuxedo... Do you remember the cartoon series Tennessee Tuxedo? From 1963-1966, Tennessee and his friend, Chumley would escape from the zoo for some misadventure. They were always rescued at the last minute by Dr. Stanley Livingston. Don Adams was the voice of Tennessee at the same time he was on Get Smart (1965-1970). I wonder if he ever got his characters mixed up? Very coincidentally, I just read in a magazine that Tennessee Tuxedo is going to be released soon on DVD! I wonder if Cubby would find it funny?
Here is my little quilt "Tangerine Tuxedo" (12"x19"). This is part 2 of a pentaptytch (5-part) art piece. We took a large piece of paper, drew lines and circles the length of the paper and then cut the whole into five pieces. Each piece was interpreted separately by a different quilter. The only commonality was the orange "ribbon" running through all five sections.
I hope to pick up Claire's Dr. Seuss Quilt from the quilter in Howell this week. Can't wait to see how it turned out. Wasn't the weather perfect today? I actually raked a little and cut back some of my grass plants. And I met my new neighbor, Rebecca. All sorts of things happen when we are cocooned inside for the winter!

Well, you are obviously younger than I (we already knew that!) --- I was in college during the Tennessee Tuxedo years and not watching cartoons (...but the noon hour soaps!). I've seen another challenge, like your art group is doing --- very cool. I look forward to seeing the whole five parts together!
Tennessee Tuxedo and his tales! :)
Love your quilt!
Okay - how much fun is it that Ruth can comment from Minnesota, Carol can comment from across the city, and I can comment from Vancouver Island, having all seen the same picture and read the same post?! Mighty fine fun, I'd say! I love your pent......... quilt - I wanna see all five together, too!
So glad that you're posting again - thanks! Will you show us your (Claire's) Dr. Seuss quilt all quilted when you get it back (and she has seen it!)?

Hey! One of the "words" "to prove I'm not a robot" is "lessuess" - I never knew the plural of Seuss!
