Staying with my daughter last week.  My grandson has a 6th birthday coming up in May.  You might be able to guess that the theme is The BFG.  Spent a day making BFG bean bags for the games and goodie bag to take home!  For around 25 of his closest friends.........

Update on Postcards from Cape Verde

3/24/2017

I have finished my one-off quilt about my trip to Cape Verde.  I had a few things to consider when putting it together.  One was the background.  I wanted to somehow suggest the ripples in the sand after the waves have gone, so I made a fairly simple stencil and printed with that.  Then I stitched fairly randomly over it.

Lots more stitching on the sea too and more place names, then it was a matter of working out where to place the postcards to make a pleasing picture.

The finished quilt.  Not the best photo - it does hang straight!  

It had it's first outing last night to a talk I gave to a delightful group called Churchdown Quilters.
