In Block #19 of the alphabet quilt, Nancy initially planned to use a star for the letter “S” but opted for a sailboat, which pleased her greatly. A club member hoped this would spark curiosity in her niece residing in a desert, prompting her mother to visit. The group started by cutting a 6.5-inch square of gingham, outlining the design using a pencil. They embroidered the letter “S” and sea gulls in gray, while different methods were employed for the boat’s pieces. Each element was carefully cut, basted, and stitched, resulting in a visually appealing quilt block featuring vibrant colors.
