Same beach different sky.
I went back this morning to see if there were more purses to be found
Here is my morning’s haul
Only 8 purses today.
I was so pleased I found a Cat Shark purse, as this is Little Miss M’s (aged 7) favourite.

Absolutely. Even when you’re laying out something already as decorative as quilt blocks, there’s a magic that makes the whole greater than the parts.

Yes, I was just thinking the same applied to quilts.
So satisfying to create pattern and order.

Thank you Pauline. The purse with the pearls in (not real pearls) will shrink, it will be interesting to see how it looks then.

I can’t resist picking up shells when I go to the beach. They go in my pocket and often stay there for ages. I went to a funeral recently on a very wet day and found shells in my raincoat pocket!

The stitching is a piece that has been waiting for a purpose – maybe it has found it.
