Sail on !

  

Well it is gardening time after a brief snow last 

week but I am still stitching when there 

is a break in the weather. 

Can you see the village?  

I was inspired by a  Quilt Fabrication scrap quilt .

Using up a lot of my blue strip squares 

made the top come together quickly.

Then I added a self-designed boat to the top. 

 One observer studied it a bit and 

commented that she really liked the village on

the shore! Scraps quilts can really spark 

imagination!  

This smaller size top (55" x 68") has been

 patiently waiting 

for a turn under the needle. 

The time has come and it is now getting stitched up. 

The backing is a grey paisley with some 

found blocks sewn in for width and interest. 

It will almost make the quilt reversible once the

quilting is complete. 

Waves will be quilted across the bottom, 

then a  shoreline with grassy plants. A few suggestions 

of houses and buildings in the middle and clouds and 

sun in the sky to finish at the top. 

A nice blue patterned binding should  match up nicely.

One more item off the May to do list ! 

It will be off to Michigan to celebrate a 

3rd year for a nephew!

Scraps ahoy!

Stay safe and sew on !
