Looking Back

Several years ago I made a quilt for my

Best Girl Friend

(I didn't take pictures! Oh NO!!)

and had some left over blocks.

These blocks kept screaming

OCEAN...SEA...WATER

to me.

So...

I took those left-over blocks and sewed them together

into a table runner size piece.

Then I appliqued fish, clams, sea horses, a starfish and sea grass

and had a ball.

I machine stitched water and more sea grass onto the piece

after the applique was complete.

 I was so excited with how it turned out.

Then I tried to decide where to put it.

I carried this runner around my house a number of times,

trying to find a place that would display it.

 

I didn't want to cover the fish and shells up with

"Table stuff," so I kept looking.

 

Finally I decided it wasn't going to work on a table,

So...

 

 

I hung it on a wall.

Yep... stuck a few pins in it to anchor it to the wall

and it hangs in my hallway.

I love it!

:)

(I really need to take a picture of the original quilt

since this looks NOTHING like it!)

Happy Quilting!
