Beach Bums Quilts
4 Attachment(s)
These two quilts, adapted from the 'Beach Bums' pattern by JoAnn Hoffman, are the last two in my 'Whimsical Ladies' quilts (a total of 16 in all). I chose this pattern and added an additional lady because I have 5 sisters and this is the six of us sitting on the beach, each with identifying tattoos. In a moment of madness (which I have regularly), I decided to quilt a lovely quote 'Smell the Sea, and feel the Sky, Let your Soul and Spirit Fly' to fill in the remaining unquilted sections of the 'sky part' of the quilt. From afar they look great, or will do after I darn away the threads but up close I am not so sure so I am thinking about hand stitching over the quilted wording to 'tidy it up'. Then it will be binding on both of these as I want to unveil them at a family luncheon we are having for my sister's 70th birthday in early June. The whole series of Whimsical Ladies quilts will be displayed locally later in the year.

Lynnie, these are so adorably funny and cute. What a fun tribute to your sisters. They made me laugh initially. I love the addition of the tattoos. And, then I re-read what you wrote. Awww, made my heart sing.

Leave the stitching. It pulls everything together and adds punch to the quilt. Lovely ladies all of them. Your creative juices was running wild. What is there not to love about the beach at any age.
|
Great looking quilts. You are so creative and what great workmanship. Your sisters are going to love these.

Very cute. Love the sayings too!

They are wonderful! The words in the sky are beautifully done. My 2 brothers are nice, but I've always wished I had a sister.
