Mike and I have been moving "stuff" out of our beach cabin in prep to list it for sale.  I took these fish and plant images off of a beach cover-up and thought of dear Anita Murphy, founder of the Golden Triangle Quilt Guild.  She never wasted anything, often attaching a new bodice in place of a damaged bodice on a perfectly good dress.  She altered many garments in nearly every way you can imagine.  I put my images on a dark blue Grunge fabric.  I quilted "slubs" into the straighter lines for sort of a tapestry effect.  I definitely want to do more of that as I liked the look of it.  Since it reminds me of Hawaii, it will go to nephew, Hudson Hand, of the Hand Ohana.

 These two quilts (fig. 1-2) began as mystery quilt tops at a quilt retreat.  I began them so long ago I have forgotten the year I began them.  Urs and Cedar were children and are now grown men.  I finished them last year then sent them both off to long-arm quilter, Crystal Little.  They came back this month.  Their bindings are on and stitched down so they are ready to pack and send to the guys.
