Accidental
Landscapes™: Seascapes
Karen
Eckmeier
So simple, yet so impressive!
Layer and topstitch blue fabric strips with white
lace to create a contemplative Seascape. Add rock
shapes to form a dramatic rocky coastline with a
lighthouse. Try out the endless variations and be
pleasantly surprised with the results!
Finished Size: approx. 8” x
10” (size varies)
