Strolling Along With Miss Catapede

On an RV trip to Daisy State Park in Arkansas last October, we ate lunch at a cute little Mexican restaurant in Murphreesboro.  

We sat at a table next to this 

charming little caterpillar.

Or is it a centipede?  

I may not have known her bug type but 

I knew she was inspiration for an art quilt!

First off, I didn't want the horns 

but I thought hair would be a hoot!

And how about an umbrella to protect her lovely skin.

That's always helpful!

I thought crazy legs and shoes would be a kick too!

(Pun intended--tee-hee!)

And now that it's all said and done, here is 

the lovely Miss Catapede out for a stroll.

I love her and I hope you do too!

She is 12"x16".
