Is the theme for the blog hop being organised by Melva and Brenda. Your “something” could have a tropical or surf feel. It can be clothing, a quilt, a bag, a toy, or whatever you choose! it might include some tropical themed fabric or novelty print… or not.
A few years ago I made a beach bag
And of course had some of the fabric left over. As we all know quilters do not part with any fabric no matter how small the piece.
With this smallish piece of left over surf feel fabric and with the addition of some biege fabric which represents sand, blue fabric to represent water and some red to match in with the lighthouses here is my surf feel tabletopper.
Thank you girls for organising such a fun blog hop during National Sewing Month. Now it is time to head on over to the following blogs for some more "Get on Board with Sewing".
Creations – Quilts, Art, Whatever
Back soon and in the meantime
Happy sewing all
It's lovely Karen... & it's just in time for our upcoming SuMMeR...
