These ladies were the inspiration for the song lyrics challenge this month. I had found various yellows and was sewing them together earlier this month with the thought of 'You are my Sunshine' running through my head. After a weekend at winter guard as a chaperone and hearing their routine song of 'Stand by me' (over and over again!) I decided to go with that instead.
Notice the umbrella's in their routine. They also did 2 flag colors and riffles.
I made this placemat. Not the prettiest, but it sure did use a bunch of scraps hanging around!
I pulled this pretty for the backing from my mystery box of fabric.
After two very long days (Thursday and Friday) Saturday was a walk on the beach and relax day. Em was exhausted, and took a good 3 hour nap in the afternoon. I had the balcony window open and enjoyed the sound of the waves, watching the water and stitching. These sets of 2 became sets of 4. Now to sew them into their column to add to the big quilt!
Linking up with Joy and the Table Scraps Challenge and Kathy with the Slow Sunday Stitching.

I bet it was a fun trip with the group. Even though you heard their routine a zillion times, years from now you will definitely remember it.
I'm admiring your hexagon project for sure. Love the little stitches in it.
That made a great placemat! I bet your girl will want it for herself. Great way to commemorate the weekend!
What a great memory mat, Deb! Glad you managed to get in some stitching time on the balcony. Oh, the relaxing sound of the waves!
