Table Scraps for June -
When I saw that our theme for a June project was "Life's a Beach," I thought - oh, if only it was! I love going to the beach, walking along the sand, listening to the waves, picking up treasures from the ocean.
But how to translate that into fabric? Using up a few Scraps is always a fun challenge - I have plenty of those!
First I needed the sand - add in some footprints and shells, too.
Add some water - I always have to get my toes in!
And really my favorite part - watching the sunset over the water - here's where June's orange comes in.
It all came together in this little piece - just 12 x 6.
Since it didn't seem like this project needed a frame around it, I decided to try a faced binding. I've only done that once before so had to hunt down a tutorial. I used this one from Victoria Gertenbach.
There's some more orange, under the sea!
Now I just need to find a little spot to hang this!

What a fun little memory piece! I could see the sand, water and sunset!
What a great piece, Diann! And did your Hubster take the sunset photo...the sun setting behind the rock? I love it so much! :)
Oh , Diann this little quilt is a perfect interpretation of the beach. I can smell the salty air and hear the sea gulls now. LOL. I loved your photos of the beach.
And now you have some beachy vibes in your sewing room! Gail at the cozy quilter
The perfect theme for you! You nailed it perfectly!!
How cool, DIann. I love your wall of mini quilts!
What a pretty, pretty piece Diann - it does look like a beach! My husband loves beaches too, but he likes to lie on a lounge chair and bake in the sun, so you would find me doing what you do instead. :D
The orange color of the month, perfectly places as a sunset! My vision too, now if I can execute it! Pretty, pretty, pretty!
What a fun little project. It looks great.
Great memories and a fun project to remind you of them! I completely forgot about the challenge this month.
