Sailboat quilt



Using batiks I started by creating a sunset reflecting in the sea by putting the stops together 

After sewung two strips together I cut them in random places to get this random result 


The stops were then layed out to get the sunset


A black border is added and I appliquéd boats and seagulls

Heart wall hanging


I made this wall hanging from the pattern here

I was looking for a pattern suitable to celebrate a wedding for a close friend 

I altered the pattern a bit using hand appliqué turning over and quilting inside the hearts.
Hand appliquéd hearts

Quilting in the ditch and then made lines around the borders at 5/8 inch distances

Keeping the lines centred in the hearts made it just that bit better
Had this little sheep button which I lived to use
