Changing It Up

I took Jac with me to the fabric store a few days ago and she fell in loooooooooove with the stuffed narwhal they had on display.

So of course I bought the pattern. What’s a grandma to do??

With three quilts currently at the long-armer’s, this was a great time to take a quilty break and try something new. 

 

The pattern is rated as “easy” and really was simple to make, once I found the online tutorial. Not sure I could have made this without swearing more swearing lots of unsewing if I’d had only the written instructions to follow.

My original plan was to cut the pattern pieces Friday night, then sew it together Saturday. But … it was so cute I couldn’t resist sewing most of it Friday, leaving just the final stitching and stuffing for today. 

I can’t wait to show this to Jac on Monday. She’s going to be so excited (I hope). 

And I can’t make something for Jac and not for Donovan, right? Sew, on the cutting table for tomorrow is Sammy Shark and his fishy fabric belly.
