Yesterday the kids and I were off to Melbourne to see the Melbourne Aquarium and their Antarctic Penguin exhibition. I have one small girl who just loves penguins. Really loves penguins. We could hardly leave them to go and see the rest of the aquarium, and even seeing the feeding sharks and the sea turtles were nothing on those penguins.
So not a lot of sewing has been done. I have started this sneak peek for someone who missed out on Linda's bag swap and I'll be hand quilting it tonight.
I'm also doing some test sewing for the upcoming Melly & Me book. Exciting but I'm not sharing ... it's a secret sorry!

I have a pengiuon lover too; in fact yesterday, when asked what she'd like to do when she grows up, she said 'I'd like to be a pinguin, mummy!'
I'll see what I can do.
Argh, the first one should have been penguin, of course. The second one was meant to be pinguin because that's how she says it. Bad fingers!
Penguins are lovely little things aren't they. Have yu seen the fairey penguins off the St Kilda Pier or over on Kangaroo Island ?When I was a child many moons ago I waited in the cold down at Phillip Island to see them come up the beach in our torchlight. I couldn't go to sleep that night wondering how they swam all day.
ooh that does sound like an exciting secret....
test sewing for Melly and Me? you are so lucky! I am jealous!
Such pretty fabrics Rachel, and how exciting that your a test sewer, you get to see items before anyone else.
Penguins really are the best :-)
Very excited to see what you are making for Melly & Me!!

Im on holidays now too!!! Hurray! Had a few people recommend going to see the penguins when we are in Melbourne in a fortnight. They are very cute!
Now, I heard a story today that the male penguins were liking each other too much and not taking any interest in the female penguin which was really causing a stir?
See you tomorrow at "Trash and Treasure"?
Cute bag fabric there. And how nice of you to make that.
Penguins are cute as is the little gal standing there.
What a lovely blog. When I saw how much your little girl loves penguins, I had to post these links to some super cute penguin fabrics I came across the other day on a US fabric store site - on sale, still quite cheap per yard even with the poor old Aussie dollar. I couldn't resist ordering a yard of the one with the numbers!
