Penguins for my favorite Granddaughter

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

This will be ready to ship when I get a label on it. It is a pattern from Elizabeth Hartman called Penguins and makes up rather quickly. I put flannel on the back and it will be her couch quilt. The instructions aren't as good as the ones on her "Delighful Desert" that I'm binding now. I think she will see my sense of humor in it, don't you?

I just saw a cute one where talking animals drive in a rented Prius through a wilderness. I liked the superbowl commercial of the cowboys herding cats across the range. This is still on YouTube Another great one on YouTube is the BBC's april fools day flying penguins. Look it up under BBC Penguins. Great fool the eye computer work and feels just like a british nature documentary. I also am a big fan of the Budweiser Clydesdale ads and the photography/cinematography is always near perfection.

Love your granddaughter’s artwork. She must be so proud. And she is very blessed to have a grandma who will frame her picture. When my kids were young we had a galley wall in one of our hallways. It featured our kids art, photos and other artists. They were framed like yours, with neutral mats, we would change out their artwork occasionally. This is still some of my favorite art.

bpath, My GD plays with that doll and all her other ”stuffdies” all the time. I have had to repair several of her stuffed animal but not the Avery Lamb. It is in perfect condition. I’m pretty sure that the little pocket on the lamb is closed at the top. I won’t be able to check on that until after next week. My GD is definitely a cutie and she is precocious for sure. (Not that I am bragging 😊). I wish I could show her face but her Mom and Dad would not want that. I took up cake decorating 10 years ago when my first GD was born. I haven't taken any classes but as we all know the internet is full of instructions and ideas. I have started teaching my GD how to frost and do various piping techniques. They love making cakes for their mom and dad’s birthdays and other occassions. Maybe I should start a thread on homemade decorated cakes. ETA. I just noticed that I had commented 4 years ago on pocket on the Avery Lamb Doll. It is not open at the top.

Sent it out for quilting along with a king size one. Just didn't have time. I'm quilting a third here at home but it's been hard getting to it. Will post others when I get them ready.

It's a good thing you know what you're doing, as in, not needing good quilting instructions. It's really cute. I love how you incorporate homespuns/plaids into quilts. You made one with appliqued stars a few years ago that I really liked. When I made it, I'm calling mine Primitive Stars. Blocks were made a long time ago and there they sit. lol But, I still love it. :-)
