designer’s note: I actually designed this early last year, but it's just now being released because I was the one stitching the model... I thought it would be a quick stitch for me, but that's when I remembered how slow I am at stitching. I just finished this model up a month ago, if you can believe that. (Somebody please don't ever let me stitch one of my own models again, because I have far too many squirrel moments.) By the way, these tortoises were originally darker, with the shell colors reversed; however, it was such a gloomy day when I was working on it, I needed something happier and so decided to change the colors at the last minute, so they ended up... blue. Feel free to stitch your stack any way you'd like!
