No, not me. I'm not setting sail anywhere, anytime soon unless it's on a nice calm lake. I'll fly, take a train, drive, ride a horse, run, walk or cruise on a water taxi, but a boat on the open ocean?
No way
. Sadly, my stomach and the open ocean do not get along.
Last weekend I worked on the May block (Set Sail) for the Modern Blocks Bee I am in. Lizz sent us a pale green and blue for the sky and a blue/green/yellow splatter for the ocean.

She asked us to pull fabrics from our stash for the sail, masts and boat. Made me laugh as my stash is minuscule - not much to choose from.

Very happy with the results. I went with white masts which are hard to see. In hindsight I should have looked for something darker but hey, it's a learning experience.

A little digression - here are my boys having fun at the back of a water taxi in Venice, Italy.
I have no problems with a water taxi, especially in a setting such as this:

Ohhh lovely block. And, Venice, the picture says it all. Try Bonine for motion sickness.
ReplyI could do a water taxi in Venice. Oh yeah! Makes me think of Sisterchicks in Gondolas. Fun book.
ReplyLove your block. Sweet fabrics. You did awesome.
oh I wish we had been able to go to Venice when we went to Italy! ;-/ Looks lovely. Oh and so does your block - quite the mind-twister, huh?
ReplyYour block is so fun and beautiful! Well done! I hope to go to Italy some day :)
ReplyYour block came out super cute! I'd set sail on that boat any day : )
