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).
What a wonderful take on this! I love it!
Look how sweetly you pulled pieces from languishing in storage and gave them a carefree beachy life as a pillow. Such a cute idea to have the flip flops walking along the waters edge. A great project from stash and inspirational too.
Great pillow and interpretation of salt sand and water. The polka dot backing has the perfect colors too.
The flip flops are super cute! They are definitely beachy. :)
I love your pillow! You bring out the theme of the hop while you are using up scraps. Great project!

Those are just the sweetest flipflops on that pillow! I love the fabric choices...very beachy. Thanks for hopping with us!
You came up with a fun project as always. I don't know how you can remember and find just the right pieces of fabric in a scrap tote. You must be pretty organized. Thanks for sharing.
What a cute use of the flip flop fabric. A great addition to a nicely put together background.
Another perfectly cute finish that suits the theme wonderfully. Thank you for sharing.
