Over at Le Challenge the theme set for June was "maritime" - just in time to get us all in the summer hols mood.
I thought it over and realised I had just the pattern for this theme, courtesy of Just Jude Designs and a cushion class I took a few summers ago. That cushion was given away as a gift to my niece, so this month's challenge was the perfect excuse to make a wee row of beach huts to keep all for myself.
Hee hee - these make me smile!
I adapted the sizing of the cushion pattern to make a smaller version to fit over a stretched canvas from a bargain shop, and just neatly wrapped the quilty pic around the frame fixing in place on the back with a staple gun.
And now they are adding a little spot of cheery colour to my empty bathroom wall!
Now I'm off to check out the other maritime makes on the Le Challenge linky!
