I would like to thank CAROL for being the creator of yet another fabulous Hop. Although I am not a 'sand and sea' kind of gal - I have a huge fear of deep water (and swim like a stone). BUT, I like a chance to create even when something is outside my comfort zone.
I dug thru a couple of scrap totes as I remembered a handful of seafoam blue and sandy scraps I received at some time from someone. AND I think there was some flip flops in the bits of eye spy pieces in another tote. Items found and a quick project evolved.
I don't have anything to set up a beachy photo op. A simple patch work, semi barbello look to sand and sea and salt. The colorful flip flops walking up the waters edge. I quilted it with a double wave for a ripple affect and raw edged the flip flops.
Some polka dot left overs from backing used up for the envelop back and I squeeked the aqua binding from a scrap.

Your cushion looks great and I love those flip flops (although here in SE Australia, we call them thongs).
