Progress

     One Whale:




Two Whales:



Yellow Whales, Blue Whale:




     This is the progress I've made so far on Eli's quilt.  I have one more medium whale to make and I think eight or nine little ones.

     In addition to this I have been preparing quilt sandwiches  for a two day workshop with Jacquie Gering at Hyggeligt  Fabrics in St Mary's this weekend. There are a lot of quilt sandwiches and I seem to be taking forever to get them done. I'm looking forward to the workshop. I am badly in need of some me time.

      I'm also looking forward to spending some time with my friend Deborah from the Toronto Modern Guild.  I met Deborah when she sat beside me at the January meeting and I ran into her at the airport when we were both going to Quilt Con in February.  We kept running into each other throughout Quilt Con and it was there that we decided to take this class together.

     We thought we would see each other lots of times at the Toronto Modern Guild meetings but that hasn't happened so we'll be seeing each other for the first time since February when she picks me up on the way.  I think we will have a lot of fun.  We are both stressing about those quilt sandwiches now and planning where to have dinner on Saturday night.

So I'm back to the quilt sandwiches now after I link up with Let's Bee Social.

Your whales are lovely, daddy mummy and baby, lovely fabrics. I am so jealous you are going for a two day workshop with Jacquie Gerring, I would so love to do a class with her, I have all her Craftsy classes and the first book, Walk is on my wish list for my kids to buy me at Christmas. Have a great time and remember, I want details!

Big whale, pretty whale, cute whale, naughty whale. I am sure all your whales will play nicely together :-) Have fun at the workshop and give Jacquie a hug - she is awesome!!! I love her Craftsy class.

The whale quilt will be wonderful! I love your fabrics! I took walking foot quilting from Jacquie last year and have used lots of the techniques and ideas I learned at the workshop in my projects. She is a wonderful teacher. I always learn lots from her.
