I spent last night with 5 friends who I have been getting together with for years. We had a fun night of sewing & chatting. I actually didn't get much sewing done, but you will be happy to know that I did my share of chatting! I asked them to bring their Ocean Song Quilts. This is Cindy with hers. I took a close-up of her beading, look especially at the mermaid's fin...she has a bead on every scale!
It shimmers!
Debbie and Jo are still working on theirs. I will take more pictures when they are finished. This is one of those projects that we have worked on off and on for about a year and a half.
Connie is in the background working on handquilting a Nelson Brothers banner!
This is mine, with a close-up below.
I took these pictures... you can tell I was focusing on the quilts, so managed to cut off the top of their heads. I don't know if you can really see how beautiful the beadwork is on them. You can tell how everyone framed them a little differently, though, and made them their own.
I am so lucky to have these good friends that share my obsession/love of fabric and quilting.
One more day to get in on the giveaway for the 3 black, white and red fat quarters. Just leave a comment here.

They all look great. It just goes to show that a lot of different ways will work equally good.
Wow! They are all gorgeous!
I've been saving water/sealife/etc fabric for a while. I've been wanting to do something on the order those on a sweatshirt jacket or a throw quilt. I just love what you and your friends how all are the same and yet all different.
I clicked on each picture and to open them individual and enlarge them and the embelishments are just wonderful.
