Kathy always brings me really fun quilts. Like this crab quilt! And then she says to do whatever I want. How great is that! Kathy used a really interesting product for the crabs that crinkled up when it was hit with steam.
About the time I got this quilt, I took a class on Craftsy with Christina Cameli on machine quilting designs. She had some pebbling designs I was practicing on paper and I thought it looked like an ocean bottom.
So I had to use those designs on the quilt.
Doesn't that look like a rocky shore? I made up a few of my own pebbling designs like shells. You can see the crinkly crabs pretty well here.
I quilted swirls in the dark blue areas. Reminds me of waves!
Thanks for letting me quilt this fun quilt Kathy!

Hi Sue. Visiting from Linda at Flourishing Palms. Love the work you have been doing and this Crab Quilt is fantastic. Your quilting certainly does look like a rocky shore. Hope to see some more of your work.
