Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Outdoorsy


Materials

Fossil Fern Fabrics

What was your inspiration?

It was made for a very good friend of mine who has just moved into a new home along the Bradenton River, Florida

What are you most proud of?

Finding just the right fabrics for a river atmosphere

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It took me only a day to finish the entire piece apart from the beading so it's an ideal project to make as gift. It's very suitable for a themed piece.

I see now that those are beads, although I could see where couching with a bulky novelty yarn might be fun.

Yes, that would work well too. I just love the extra sparkle of beads.
