Living along the
California coast has made sunsets over the sea very special to me. Harbor seals
are also special to me. I think of them as our ambassadors to the spiritual
nature. A combination of piecing and painting was used to make this quilt. The
sun is painted and the sky, or sunset, is pieced from many different fabrics.
All the special fabrics I could collect in my travels across the US while
teaching have gone into this sunset. Many of them are hand marbled. The
underwater portion is created with a painted sea and seals with soft-edge machine appliqué kelp.
