Cute Penguins...and a FREE PATTERN!

It’s that time of year…put away the Christmas decorations and let’s decorate using items that will be cute until Easter. Penguins work for me!

These super sweet penguins wearing a cute collection of different hats make a fun wall hanging or table topper. The penguins are paper pieced, and the flowers are appliqued.

I call these “Belly Button Penguins”. I made mine into potholders, but they would make great mug rugs too!

Have fun paper piecing this super easy Penguin Pillow.

Here is a FREE PENGUIN PATTERN just for you! Just click HERE for the free downloadable pattern to paper piece the Hearty Penguin block below.

This is also a cute block for Valentine’s projects.

Thank you so much – my “second” daughter and her husband got engaged at the New Orleans Audubon Aquarium with the penguins, so this will be perfect for them!

Hi Marnie! Oh, all of these penguins are so cute. I have a good friend that just adores them. I’ll have to share your website with her. Happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks for linking up today. ~smile~ Roseanne

Oh my gosh; your penguins are adorable! Our decorations stay up until Epiphany (January 6th) so we still have a couple more days to go.

  Thanks Kippi. I just shared my post to your January Linky Party. Do I have to wait for my particular category, as I see you feature garden this week. Or may I post each week?
  I would also love to be a host sometime, but I would have to learn more about your hosting process.
