I knew as soon as Kerry asked me if I wanted to be part of the blog hop I was in! I just love a little fairy tale and have two girls who feel exactly the same!
Kerry is sweet and she rounded up the most amazing box of goodies from fantastic sponsers, they were so generous and they gave us some wonderful tools and notions to be able to make whatever we wanted from the book to showcase to you. Being a quilter this was brilliant for me as I didn't own any of these tools. But they are so cheap and simple and make the world of difference to ease of construction and your finished look.

So a huge thanks to the really generous sponsors!
What with the book being packed choc full of amazing projects and having all the tools I needed to make them, narrowing it down to one to show you was looking like a pretty hard task!
But after looking though the book I just knew it had to be Drifter the Orca. Both my girls adore sealife, we are regular visitors to our local aquarium and one of their favorite bedtime stories is The Snail and The Whale by Julia Donaldson. And my eldest daughter decided she wanted to help make him.
Despite the shaping on the whale he was incredibly easy to construct, Kerrys instructions are so clear and concise that my daughter was able to follow them herself, needing only a little help from me on the sewing machine. Aside from the hand stitching and a bit of help guiding it around the curves through the machine she made it all herself. She had a whale of a time (harharhahr!!)
So here is Eloise's Orca, named Dipper. We can't wait to take him with us on our next trip to the aquarium and of course he will be a happy prop during bedtime stories!
I on the other hand am scheming when I can set aside some free time to make up more projects from the book, they are too cute to resit!
Today is the last day of the blog hop, but head on over to Kerrys blog where she is giving away a copy of the book and one of the amazing goodie boxes from the sponsors! She also has some really cute extra projects not featured in the book for each day of the blog hop. I know I am most definitely going to be sewing up a little fur cape!
: : : : A huge thank you to Kerry and the Sponsors for giving me the chance to take part and for the wonderful goodies, Elosie and I have had a magical time stitching up our own little sewing tale : : : :

She did a fantastic job! Dipper is adorable!
Very cute whale - well done! Looks like a great book :)
Great orca - I like the turtle too!
Well how funny is that? We both made an orca this week, yours is gorgeous, love the look of that book, could it pass as a Christmas present for a child but I get to play with it?
Your daughter looks so focused! Love it, and what a great result. Fantastic!
Your daughter did a fantastic job. She'll be asking for her own machine before you know it.
Well done Eloise, great job!
So cute, I love the fact that the patterns are so easy to follow. A testament to a well thought out and written book.
Love the way you delegated that blog hop to your daughter - guess she should get the book and goodies then!
Job well done!
Thanks for the ideas your share here
So far, I am looking for a source of reference on various websites
Now I have found what I was looking for all this time
I state that the technology used is not as sophisticated as the technology in your country
Although I had a lot of obstacles with existing technologies in Indonesia in my country, but I keep the spirit to strive to be the best, one of which is a reference from your idea that really helped me.
Once again I want to say thank you
