Farewell to summer

It is not completely difficult for me to kiss the summer 'Good buy'. After all, one beautiful season is coming with its warm colours and leafy dress. 

My plain blue summer had to be sent on its journey with these cute whales by TILDA.

From many books Tone Finnanger published, from all her angels, animals and cosy home makes, I chose these whales, that remind me of the turquoise water of Georgian Bay. What a crystal place this is! The water is so clear, that you could almost feel the cut of a crystal piece in your skin - cold and sharp and instant.

When you decide to make these beauties, do not forget about the notches around each curve. There is nothing more frustrated than a non-notched curve. The seam becomes bulky and unpleasantly unclean.

Here is how I did mine:


You could see how the notches around the shorter curves are closer to each other, to remove as much of the fabric as possible. Please, be careful not to cut through the seam :(


These whales are fast and clean make, but they still require love and attention in order to make them look pretty :)

I have made my ocean out of very wide weaved linen and the shells were collected in one beautiful trip to Prince Edward Island - memories kept very preciously in this image.

I have seen whales once in my life. They enter into the home of fleuve St. Laurent from the Atlantic and there are places where people can admire their acrobatics. It is amazing how they travel in groups. I was especially stunned by the belugas. Their warm white backs form some carpet in the water - mothers with children, whole families and friends swim together. What a beautiful way to live a life!

Here is my mom-and-daughters memory of them:


Thank you for visiting!
