A mess of sharks

 I absolutely love this shark fabric from Dear Stella.  When it arrived it told me it wanted grey and red fabrics to be used with it.  I found this hand-dyed grey fabric at the LQS.  It was perfect because of all of the color variation.  The red is from French General.   The first "fins" I made had a thicker red stripe and they looked like a sports logo!  So I resewed and recut to get these fins.   I used my 4 1/2 inch equilateral triangle die from Accuquilt.  I trimmed down the triangles to square off and added 2.5 inch borders.  The binding is a faux flange.  I used 1.75 inches of the red and 1.5 inches of the grey.

 

what i did on my summer vacation . . .

I decided I really wanted to get some of my woolie kits finished up-no good just sitting in a drawer! The little Easter chick I started last spring and petered out-I'm too tired when I get home to stitch carefully.   So I knocked that one out first.  Next up was the mini Summer Pails-love those pinwheels!  And finally the Sailboat.

I also started another woolie called Garden Walk.  (All of these woolies are apparently by Lily Anna Stitches.  It seems I may be slightly addicted.)  I don't have a photo of that one yet.  It requires doing double blanket stitching so it is taking me a while to get some work done.

I have also acquired some fabric so I guess I need to update my fabric report. . .
