    Red face My "Not Sure Where This Adventure Was Going Take Me Quilt"

    I wasn't sure how I was going to make this one come to life, but I love the way it all came out, so much so, I hate to part with it. Little Grant's daddy is an avid fisherman, so I knew I wanted the boy fishing on the dock. Saw a pic and made the applique off that idea. I knew I wanted the embroidered fish and the embroidered boys fishing. I bought the "simple curves ruler" with this quilt in mind and I bought the circle fabric, also, with this quilt in mind. It all came together. I'll be giving it to him at Christmas.

    Thanks for looking
    Happy Sewing

    The eyes on the fish that are underwater are so cute!
