Ocean Songs
It is a discontinued panel from a Laurel Burch series called Ocean Songs. I had to buy three different times, which I had to search on the net. The first one, a friend begged for, as her daughter has a thing for mermaids. We made a quilt for her adult daughter, who was hoping to conceive. We added a little charm and our best wishes, she had twins! The second one, I made almost identical to the final one. I told a very good friend to pick whatever projects I had made as a present. Before I could say "except the mermaid" she promptly picked the mermaid and told me how much she loved it. How could I say no. This one pictured is the third and final version. What the pictures don't show is the amazing sparkle, I added LOTS of Swarovski crystals. It hangs in my sewing studio and it catches the morning sun. It almost looks alive from all the sparkles. My guild calls me the queen of bling. I also used dupioni silk for the final border and gold thread. My mermaid is one of my favorites.
