Audrey is one of the most senior members in our guild. I think she and her husband recently celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary! She continues to amaze us with her fabulous quilts!
This Storm at Sea is a recent example of what she creates. I just love this pattern, so much movement and not a curve in place!
She made this one for her son. He is an outdoorsy guy who grew up here near the lake, and there is a scrap of fabric depicting a sailboat, somewhere among all those pieces.
So, for the body of the quilt I used Jodi Beamish's Waterworld pantograph.
In the outer border I put some mariner's compass' in the corners (not pictured unfortunately) .
From Anne Bright's book called "Simply Continuous Boys to Men" I got the North, South, East and West symbols and in between I placed a row of sailboats that I came up with myself!.
It's such a joy to work on a lovely quilt!
It is simply a lovely quilt...blue and white is just so fresh....
ReplyDeleteWow, I just love Storm at Seas. I'd be terrified to quilt it - I wouldn't know where to start, but you did a great job with it!
