When you see the word BEACH......and Mom's current applique....

What came to mind? I make yummy noises and smile and begin to go down reverie road. As Roxy and I swirled and currented and imagined the markings of sea and sand....This quilt is my sketch pad. I practiced new fmq designs that I have wanted to try and was scared to do. My back is a complete disaster with the tension but that is how it goes. The learning curve, once what took me to to the psychiatrist's couch due to my perfectionism is now OK......The title of this quilt was once Sea and Sand...now it is, It has One Side, Front. And of course, gotta CELEBRATE mom's current applique project. Isn't the leaf fun? The little eagle is adorable that will soon adorn it! Off to play with Gwen Marston's Medallion ideas.......

As always, Em, your quilting is stunning. I'm taking baby steps with some stippling, and maybe will branch out to more shapes soon! LOL
