undersea3 I received this adorable Preppy the Whale mini quilt yesterday, all the way from Zurich, Switzerland!  It was made by the ultra-talented @spiritedchild2014, Andrea Tomlinson, who crafts “handmade unique children’s colouring activities and accessories.”  Her website is www.spiritedchild.ch.
