WOW Beside the Sea

Sept 2012 014

I have started to make a quilt from a book by Lesley Brankin called ‘Beside the Sea’. It is mostly foundation piecing and is great fun to make. I am not making the single size quilt only a baby quilt so I am having to adjust the layout and number of blocks but that does make it more interesting.

So far I have completed the lighthouse, a sun and a few sea gulls.

Also I thought you may like to see my workroom, it doubles as the saloon of our sailing yacht, obviously it all gets packed away when we are out sailing but at the moment we are in our home marina so I have some time to sew.
