ABC Embroidered Quilt Block – Sailboat

Posted on July 20, 2009July 27, 2015 by Martha

Bunny pointed out that most of my blocks are living vs. non-living, so I thought I should do the sailboat to add one more non-living item. Callipygian suggested that “S is for sailboat” sounds better than “S is for seal” and I think she is right as well. So, here’s my new sailboat block which was one of the easier ones to stitch. Seagulls had to replace the clouds — this is the Pacific Northwest, after all (S is for seagull) — and I added our name to the flag. Originally I tried drawing waves in the S letters, but they looked terrible so I just did the hull design. I love this DMC floss — it’s very subtle, so I’m not sure if you can see the variation in the colors in my photo.

I’m working on the duck quilt — hopefully I’ll be done in time for the next post.

    You are right, the color is very subtle, but just perfect for the ocean! I think the seagulls are a very nice touch. I love the waves, though!

    It’s such a simple block really, but so beautiful! Ditto Jan’s comment – the blue is PERFECT for the ocean. I like the hull design in the letters and your name on the flag – really nice details. And I continue to marvel at how pretty your stitches are, the waves especially caught my eye. The lines are so smooth!

    Would you be able to make a pair of these sailboat pillowcases for me? Could a name be added? say a person’s name or the name of the sailboat? And what would the cost be?
