Another redwork quilt...

Finally finished putting together

my latest embroidery quilt.

The pattern is "Sun and Sea"

by Sandi Bard Designs

Nine embroidered blocks

stitched in Sulky 12 wt color 4014

The border fabric is "Bubble Shells"

from Tula Pink's Salt Water collection.

It features a way too cute Seahorse fabric

called "Ocean Ponies"

that works great for the corners!

Here are two of the blocks up close

Now it's time to decide on quilting choices!

Stitching in the New England heat wave!

Spent the heat wave at the canal watching my husband fish!

The sun was brutally hot, we only lasted an hour in the sun,

thankfully there was a bit of shade which made the

six hours of fishing

(2 bites, 1 snapped line, no dinner!)

a bit more enjoyable!

I was prepared! Brought along my latest

embroidery project

"Sun and Sea"

 by Sandi Bard Designs.

A very cute design of small children at the beach!

Using a variegated Sulky 12 wt thread #4014

it runs from a medium blue to  aqua 

very pretty and reminds me of the ocean!

To beat the heat at home

(thank you central air conditioning)

worked on outlining my applique,

it's a work in progress,

I've never done this before so

there is a bit of a learning curve going on!

Enjoying the process!
