ROCK THE BOAT
Noah’s ark was said to be built from gopher
wood, so our rendition has quite a few fun
wood look-alikes! Cork fabric was a must for
this collection. With the natural wood grain
look to this special appliqué material, cork
fabrics look great mixed in with solid felts or
other home decor fabrics to create texture.
To prevent it from looking too repetitive, we
alternated between three different materials
for a majority of the ark’s bottom fabrics.

MAKING WAVES
Our ocean layers are full of fun and vibrant
appliqués! Our favorite addition that really
impacted the finished look was adding
in this turquoise glitter vinyl! This sparkly
addition can be purchased in 9” x 12”
sheets with a canvas back, perfect for using
in home embroidery projects! Compliment
the blue hues with other fun materials like
satin or even layers of organza over cotton
to mimick water, and alternate the hues on
your satin stitches for a truly oceanic look!
