beach quilts

So many people at one time or another go to the beach. Many of us day dream about what it would be like to live at the beach, look out our windows to see the endless ocean and the big sky, and listen to the waves. Beach designs and motifs give us a sense of Read the full article...

As the fall arrives and summer winds down, I find myself thinking about images that relax me. I just finished this art quilt in early September. It transports me back to quiet afternoons at Long Beach Island in NJ with my family or visits to the Outer Banks in NC. Beaches are universal. After creating Read the full article...

I'm doing a happy dance today because after two three (!) years, I have a finish: My Lake Michigan Quilt, or as we say in all of our state's ads about things we like, MI Lake Michigan Quilt. I was under the MIstaken (get it?) impression that it took me two years until I looked up my old posts this week and found out that I started it in MId-October 2015. It's as old as one of MI grandsons. I won't put all the links in here of posts along the way, but if you'd like to read them, click on the…

I have been creating ocean and dunes art landscape quilts for many years but this week I decided to try some new designs. In Ocean and Dunes 22 I used one fabric for the sky instead of piecing it like I usually had done. When it came time to quilt it, I thought I would Read the full article...

Did you know, coastal areas account for less than 10% of the total land in the contiguous United States? (NOAA, January 2024.) But almost 40% of the US population lives in those coastal areas! (NOAA, January 2024.) I am one of those lucky 40% that lives in a coastal area, Tampa, Florida to be exact. Because of that, I get to experience and enjoy the beach life everyday. But what about the remaining 60%? How will they get to experience and enjoy the beach life? By checking out Lisa Audit’s…

There's an imminent new arrival in our extended family, so it's time for me to get working on another version of my baby beach scenes. Simon suggested I incorporate surfing since the father is a keen surfer. That was the starting point for my designing, anyway. I ended up with this row of (potentially surfable?!) waves which will go across the top of the reef/water section, and I started by piecing them. I divided the waves into organic shapes, much like those I used in the much larger…

Do you ever wonder how many quilts you can sew from your stash? I ponder this question a lot. My stash isn't huge but it was beginning to feel out of control. It was time to sew a scrappy quilt and use the fabrics at the bottom of my bins - you know the ones that are destined to be forgotten forever. My fabric bins are sorted by colour and my original plan was to grab the blue bin and sew something but on a family drive inspiration struck! Instead I grabbed the blue, teal and aqua bins and…
