Red Sky At Night
(27 x 20 inches)
2006
Detail

"Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red in the morning, sailors take warning." A former sailor myself, this quilt was a delight to create. It started with white silk which I painted with textile paints and inks. The sky and water are one piece of fabric - the sailboat, island and yellow strips in the water are fused on. I used thread painting to add detail to the scene and for the rigging of the boat.
