It is time for my post in the Island Batik blog hop.
My project is called After the Holidays. I live in a tourist area, and, while we enjoy the vitality our
summer visitors bring, it is also nice when the cooler weather arrives, school starts and our streets are less crowded. This seaside scene with abandoned cabana's and quiet beach reminds me of that time of year.

This wall hanging was made from the wonderful Seashore fabric collection. A sample of the fabrics is shown below. The picture doesn't do justice to the vibrant colours which can be seen better in the quilt but I have included a link below the scans so you go to the Island Batik site for a better look. Copy and paste the link or click on the word Seashore

ReplyDeleteToday we had "After the Holiday" and "Gecko Invasion". Earlier in the hop there was one called "Seaweed Swirl" over at PurrfectSpots. I love batik fabrics and I'm really enjoying this hop.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy the idea: a season for everything!!! Although I don't look forward to -40°C temperatures in our winters!! However, I do love a landscape of snow that sparkles like diamonds!!
ReplyDeleteThe runner called "Desert Landscape" is a beauty... I've never made Flying Geese blocks and this would be a perfect small project.
One I like is Seaside made with Red Tide by Island Batiks. It was shown at Freemotion by the River (Connie Reskin)
ReplyDeleteI love Tidepools which was made with Seashore by Pamela from Pamela quilts. All the quilts have been so beautiful and the fabrics are gorgeous. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome quilt....love love the fabrics...
ReplyDeleteMaria Michels had a darling quilt she called "Under the Sea." Love your cabana quilt too.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all the quilts but particularly like Under the Sea and Tidepool. And of course After the Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI am so enjoying seeing all of the beautiful quilts made with batiks! Recently saw one called "Seaglass" that caught my eye.

ReplyDeleteI really liked Tradewinds, as well as yours Ann. These are beautiful fabrics aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy all the creative ideas through the blogs. "Gecko Invasion" made me smile because it reminded me of a time I traveled and there were these little lizards climbing the walls.
