While I was making this wall quilt for my sister
Helen.....
I thought how the little pieces of fabric reminded me
of sea glass......
 |
| Zakka inspired.... |
against the background of sandy coloured fabric......
and its wavy quilting.....
 |
| I left my Hera marker at home.....a long fingernail did the trick! |
And as it was made down by the beach the name
seems perfect!
seems perfect!
It's now living happily on Helen's wall....
Final dimensions- approx. 20 inches by 60 inches
A second little project was also completed....
a couple of pretty placemats...
complete with red ric rac and binding...
Overall a successful weekend of sewing....
What have you been working on?
Happy days!

Simplicity at its best! Love the wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wall hanging and I love the ric- rac on the placemats!

ReplyDeleteLove the wall hanging. It just works so well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt for your sister! Great measurement and it looks so pretty there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful placemat too!
Love, love, LOVE the wall hanging! I feel an urgent need to go and make something similar right now! You are right about the seaglass, I collect seaglass (living by the beach I can't help and pick it up!) and it would be so great to match the colours of the glass I have... If you will me allow you to copy you (ulitmate form of flattery!) I will give it a whirl !
ReplyDeleteThat wall hanging is fab! It's simple but so very effective!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect wall hanging! And a perfect name for it! It looks great on her wall. And the placemats are adorable! Love the kitcheny fabric with the ric-rac - it just doesn't get any better!

ReplyDeletewow, that was a successful weekend of sewing! The wall hanging is just beautiful, and you're right, it does remind me of the seaside!
ReplyDeleteLove those little squares....great wallhanging!
ReplyDeleteI love the simple beauty of this wall quilt. The coloured fabrics really do sparkle like the coloured glass pieces you find along the beach. It's really beautiful Suz. Your sister must be so please to have some of your art hanging on her wall. Your kitchen ric rac mats are so fun too.
