Reegan enjoys walks, runs, hikes and adventures on thebeaches and finding seashells, seaglass and pebbles. Now that she lives by the ocean she explores the beaches often. This quilt will hopefully be an inside cozy reminder of her adventures by the sea.
The pattern used for Reegan's Quilt was the
"Seashell Sampler Quilt Pattern Pack"

the scallop, the conch, the nautilus and the wave.

I quilted Reegan's quilt using my new Grace Q'nique 16x on my new Q-Zone Queen Frame. First quilt on the new set-up.
Pattern for quilting was Cursive Writing for the following words to highlight the theme of the quilt as well as random loops of different sizes and directions.
She sells seashells by the seashore.
Il en fera des colliers,
De cailloux et coquillages
She sells seashells on the seashore.
Qui brilleront au lever, Du soleil sur la plage.
She sells seashells by the seashore.
Reegan sells seashells by the seashore.
Happy 16th Birthday Reegan
