See Ya Later Alligator Blog Hop, My Day

Today is my day on the See Ya Later Alligator being hosted by the Carla @Creatin in the Sticks. Many thanks to Carla for creating another fun hop. The challenge this time is to make something to do with travel. Anything from places to go, to how you get there and anything in between, or maybe even an alligator.

The line up for the hop is below. My thought for this blog hop was to create something with a sailboat, as my husband and I loved to take our little trips on the sailboats he made. We took our boats all over Northern California sailing.

My sister-in-law Char created this from several of the portholes we took off John's last boat, and inserted one of my favorite photos of us sailing.

I found this fabric of a world map and decided it would make the perfect background. I ended up making a new cushion cover with my little Accuquilt gnome and anchor dies sailing around the world.

I usually make an envelope type opening on the back, but decided to do a zipper closure this time. I really don't like doing zippers, and this one took me twice, but it is done.
