You know how much I love free motion sewing, and coupled with my love for coastal living, this little scene was easy to create in my mind. The great thing about this kind of art is that you are transported to the coast as you sew. It couldn’t be nicer on this cold wet summer’s day.

Hi there!

The thing about the holidays is that you have the time to be creative, make a mess in your craft room, and leave it like that for a few days.  Yesterday morning I dug out a tiny cross-stitch which I would have done about a year ago.  I was going to frame it in a small frame and then thought it would be fun to make it bigger and add the free motion sewing component.  And the result is this little picture (frame is 28x36cm) which I really enjoyed making.  A friend asked me to make something for a baby room and I think this would be perfect.

Last day of my mini holiday (Queens Birthday weekend).  I have quite a few cross stitches that are finished waiting for me to frame, or make into cushions, book covers … who knows, and so I got started on this little one and just love it.  I think the mix of freemotion sewing, fabric and cross-stitch looks perfect.
