Mendocino Fogbank  ©  1985-2003  Vicki L. Johnson  80"x 60"

The Northern California town of Mendocino, where I lived for eight years, is pictured in this quilt.  A former logging town at the turn of the century, it was found in the 1960's by artists who have helped turn it into a resort area. The fog rolls across the town as the creative spirit flows thru this coastal town of artists and crafts people. The scene was painted with fabric paints and then the buildings were appliquéd with soft-edge machine applique. The panels on  the sides repeat the colors flowing from fog to sunshine.
