Frog towel

I am making each of my children a towel for Christmas.  I know it is a little early but I make things all year, put them in the Fair in October, and then give out as gifts throughout all the year and all my children currently have winter birthdays so it is perfect for Christmas and their birthdays.  I made my son's frog towel today.  It was my first time ever sewing on appliques.  I think it turned out fairly well since I have never made them before and I have never done appliques before.  I got a new sewing machine for my birthday in January and have sure been enjoying learning all the cool things I can do with it.

The tongue does have a fly on it.  The head is the hood of the towel.  It took me just over an hour to finish this from start to finish (minus cutting out the pattern and the pieces which I did previously.) It took 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel, and one wash cloth plus a piece of felt and grosgrain ribbon.  I think the cost was about $10 for all those items.
