Under the Sea: DONE!

 Here is my latest project: "Under the Sea"...

My best friend asked me if I would make a piece for her infant son, my godson Tavian. I knew his nursery had a nautical theme, so I thought I'd base it upon that and created a sketch. You can see Alex's scribbles at the top of it. I guess he was trying to help...

My workspace is still less than ideal, but hey, I make it work! I started by laying out fabric from my stash. I don't use as much commercial fabric in my other pieces, so it was fun for me to see what I had...

Here is a detail photo of it. I used fused applique. Machine stitched, but hand embroidered...

Didn't involve as much work as my handpainted fine art quilt pieces, but it was a lot of fun to create! My favorite part of it? The giant squid!
