I think I might have to go with GULLIBLE as well! (though while reading I did briefly consider Gullbert)

Gull named Sue

Being a Whitby boy I think he should be Count Gulliver 🙂

Obviously Gullible the brave…… 😉

I think it should be Greggs, think of all the freebies you could both blag in sponsorship deals

What a great idea, thankyou

What a great idea. Thank you

Thank you everyone for the gulltastic names, luckerly for Gulliver the date for contesting his name ran out at midnight last night, (check the date if you haven’t already) and he’s happy to say that he is THE ONE AND ONLY GULLIVER, and will always stay that way. Much seagully love to you all. Xx

Yes he certainly does , thank you for your comment

What a great idea. What size were the books and were these finished appliqués stitched in the book with any text with them? Love this group activity.
-
The books are 8×8 blank sketchbooks. Yes finished appliqués, some quilted. The book is getting very fat now. Struggling to close it. There’s not a lot of text, just a reminder to myself of when they were done, why and the materials.
