Wilma and Wayney Whale
is now available for download from the link in the right hand sidebar under Free Downloads and other stuff (as usual...let me know if the gremlins have been playing)
Here's the story so far
Josephine and Frances love each other (Frances is a boy fish :) so if you prefer, call him Francis) Frances just wants to give Josephine a great big fishy kiss! Do you see him hiding in the greenery? Sometimes he hangs around with Sammy Starfish. Sammy and Sally have been together FOREVER! They like to jig in the wishy washy water that Wilma makes when she swishes her tail.... and that gets Wayney all giggly!
Why Wilma and Wayney? Well, Wilma just sounds like a good name for a proud mum (a bit like Wilma Flintstone.. WilmAAAAAAA!!!) and Wayney is my big Brother-in-law who loves everything about the ocean. This is the quilt Wayne made... all those bits are hand appliqued
Have you guessed that each block has a preview of the next month's little characters? And have you guessed that block 5 will be all about the dancing snakes... bet you've never seen a sea snake like these little wrigglers... You'll have to wait till May for them :-)
Later today you can read up about the April doings of the Gum Tree Designers and the Freebie project for April is by our Fee Fee. That will be available in a day or two and it's so sweet!
I pinched this photo from Fee to show you her new stash of fun stuff for sale... don't you love those wrapped bundles? And don't you hate unwrapping them? Just get two of each then you'll have one to play with and one to smile at... :-)
AND, if you head over to the QFD Creative Blog you can read a bit about me AND download my project ~ 'Sunday Markets'. While you're there, click into Sarah's online shop and have a browse around... lots of yum things to tempt you!
I hope you love my whales... Have a fun day

Dear Cheryl
I want to thank you for the lovely block. It is already stitched and look nice. I have tried to put all 4 blocks side by side and can begin to see how beautiful and fascinating the quilt will be. Looking very much forward to the coming blocks.

Oh Cheryl, the whales are wonderful! Thank you SO much for all these adorable designs. I'm caught up with stitching the first three (see my Friday blog post this week), and will be starting Wilma and Wayney right away. I really appreciate your generosity.

I have that silly song "I think I love You" swarming around in my head after reading your sweet post. You are a darling. XXX
