Ahoy Matey!

I can't believe it has been a week since I last posted! But I do have a good excuse....wedding stuff {cake tasting :), bridesmaid's dresses}
But....
To be completely honest, most of my week has been spent drifting Out To Sea....
 
 
well....
drifting in a sea of cuteness, that is!
Sarah Jane Studio's new fabric line...Out To Sea has just landed on our shores....or should I say store....
 
    To help introduce it to our customers, I made a baby quilt using Amy Smart's free download.....
 
 
This is a fabulous line {sorry for the photos...it is a bit cloudy today}
 
 
the line includes a couple of large panel prints....ships and a map panel. And lots of great coordinating prints...including Pirates!!!!
 
I made a couple of minor changes to the free pattern....
instead of white at the top and bottom, I used this watery chevron print....
 
   
and,of course, I had to add a bit of pick stitching...
 
 
it is bound in this fantastic bold red stripe...gotta love a good stripe!
 
 
and the back is a fun pirate print!
 
 
It is a great line...that Sarah Jane...such a talented girl!
Have a wonderful weekend...
hugs

  6. I'm so enjoying seeing all the nautical themed fabrics coming out. This is a particularly fun range, so sweet and pretty. Your quilt shows it off beautiful and the blue chevrons are perfect. This is going to get so many comments in the Shoppe!!

  10. Love it! One day I would love you to chat to us about your big stitch quilting - like thread, needle, batting. I do quite a bit, but don't know a lot of others who do!
