Penguins!

3/13/2020

I've made great progress on the penguins in the past few days. Following the directions to the letter, I first sewed sides to the eyes so that they don't look like houses anymore.

I chain pieced wings.

I got tired of drawing diagonal stitching lines so I finally got out the Sharpie and just drew a line that I could follow. That sped things up nicely.

Three sets of penguin wings for small, medium and large penguins. I'm calling them papa, mama and baby anymore. There are 4 papas, 8 mamas and 8 babies.

Next was adding corners to the head and finally we have something that looks like a penguin! NOW I can play with the bodies.

Here are all of the fabrics that I have to choose from for the bodies. I need twenty so I'll spend the weekend deciding which ones that I want to use. The tedious part of this quilt is over!

This weekend I'll work more on this, the scrap coasters, winding yarn and I also need to plan a new crochet project.

Those penguins will be adorable. I see a couple of fabrics that you will surely use. (Heart, Star)

Houses no longer! Love the thought of the shibori 'tummies' - talk about well dressed penguins.
