Under the Sea
 

Each summer my friend and I pick a theme to do when I visit her at her Lake Hse.
This yr it was "under the sea"...
This is my version, just needs a few embellishments,binding or facing.
I used all diff types of yarns for seaweed on left for 3D. We shared fabrics with fish, seashells to cut out for applique. I have an emb machine so i made my own patch applique, divers, swimmers,chest, turtles, fish,seahorse.

She did a 3 panel scene and belongs to bd and will post photo's when she's done...

What an awesome and creative quilt...looks like it was a fun project. I will keep my eyes open for hers too.

Very nice quilt, good job

Really nice!

How fun to have a sewing visit at a lake house, no less!

What a neat thing to do! Your theme is wonderful and I love the yarn seaweed. Great project!

I think you both must have a lot of fun with this project. Planning it, creating it, and sharing it. I hope you are pleased and love it. I have really enjoyed seeing it!

Fantastic! Love it!

Oh my, that is just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

That is a beautiful work of art! There are so many things to draw your eye it takes a while to admire your wonderful work. I hope you enter it in a show.

Wow, wow, wow!!!

What a fun project!

Beautiful and so colorful :)

Very fun!!

How adorable!

Incredible!

All of the above and more!! You are so creative! How will you display this?

Oh my goodness! That is striking. You did a beautiful job.

wall hanging...put binding on today

thank you for all your comments. It was fun especially doing the same theme w/a friend and both doing totally diff pieces. Her opting for 3 panels and less is more...me one panel and more is more...I just couldn't stop adding...a few times I thought I was done to just see space and kept adding...
I started another which is going to be all embroidered turned into a wall hanging.

That's got to be so much fun for both of you. Great theme and wonderful results. What's next?

Actually
 

I was working on this today...just took photo and thought "Post it...
I guess I stuck on sea life!!!!
Using decorative stitches around each piece of applique.

Very creative and so cool looking. Bet that was fun to let the creativity flow and follow it where it goes. Fun fun project.

awesome applique stitching. You are in the groove...stay with it..

Ditto..............

How fun! I love that you were able to swap fabrics with a friend. You have a great variety of sea creatures.

Great work. You are very talented.

Wow so much work and so worth it. Love your turtle too.

Great job! I hope to start my Seawell Collage quilt soon and you've given me a great idea for dimension with the seaweed.

Very nice and so creative how you embellished. Love it

Hi All. I am Kathy's lake house friend and I just want to say that we have SO MUCH FUN every Summer, working on some type of wall art quilt. As Kathy mentioned, my underwater quilt is a "Triptych" ... Three separate quilts that capture one single scene. That alone tells you that it has been a very time-consuming project. The background to my scene is pieced diamonds ... which also consumed a tremendous amount of hours to complete. So, yes, I will definitely share with all of you upon completion .... but it is not even close to completion.

I want to give a "shout out" to Kathy for her Under The Sea quilt .... Beautifully done!!!

WOW! Fabulous design and workmanship.
