Cynthia from Quilting is More Fun Than Housework hosts a brilliant event twice each year: a quilty adoption event. The idea is to pass on projects that you haven't finished that no longer excite you to someone else.
I have three flashy penguins that are up for adoption. I made them as
samples for my Stash Bee block last year, then decided that these
unconventional penguins were too unconventional for what I wanted.
These guys are each 16" blocks (finished) and are from a free tutorial
by Lorna of Sew Fresh Quilts, so making more is a possibility. I added a border around her 12" penguin to make the larger block.
This is actually my second time posting these guys. Last year, I admit that life got crazy and I forgot about the adoption. By the time I followed up, the woman who was interested had too many projects and the second person who expressed interest never responded to my email. While it's hard to think that last year was crazier than this year, I do know that I have to go to the post office the first week of October, so it's safe to say these will actually be mailed out.
These fun and flashy friends are free to a good home. Leave me a
comment letting me know you'd like to adopt them. Comments accepted
through the end of the day Tuesday September 22nd. I'll pick randomly if more than one person is interested.
Penguins aren't native to
the US so I'm willing to ship internationally (as long as US is
currently shipping there and packages from the US are being accepted).
These are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI like the addition of the border to make a bigger block! I'm sure someone will love these!
ReplyDeleteHaha! So cute! At first glance I thought they were wearing hula skirts--the colorfulness!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure someone will want this snazzy trio!
ReplyDeleteIf you cannot send them out for adoption, make them into comfort pillows for kids at the hospital. They are always looking for huggables to get kids through tests.
ReplyDeleteI would love to adopt them and add 3 more to make a Project Linus Quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks
these are so adorable. i love the happy fabrics you used. but on Lornas site they are now $5 for all three
ReplyDeleteI only just now found out about this event and I think I may have missed it ;'(. I would love to use these spunky Penguins in making a comfortable item for myself- A lap quilt for when I am using my PC as it gets super cold here in the PNW. I have a tribal fabric I would love to use as a border and I am wanting to perhaps add a star block in the middle to remind myself I am still a star and worthy of love despite the traumatic abuse/neglect I have been through growing up. Perhaps a Kansas Trouble Block as a reminder of what made me decide to be a better person.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have these blocks to make pillows for my great nephews!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to finish these wild and crazy penguins into a comfort quilt for a child! Please add my name to the list :)
ReplyDeleteThese blocks would be fun to finish into a child's quilt for my guild's Quilts in Force program.
ReplyDeleteOh Emily those penguins are so cute. I’d love to adopt them and can see them dancing around on a quilt I’ve been designing for a Christmas gift!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested! They are so cute! Bethastrand@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI am interested in them for a child's quilt for Comforting Quilts, our local quilt charity. They are adorable!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your blocks have found quite a number of new homes. Thanks for participating!
ReplyDeleteI’d love to win these wild penguins. They’d be turned into pillows for a fundraiser for my group’s Fiber Arts Center in my AZ village. Hopefully next year it will be a reality. kthurn@bektel.com
