CHALLENGE: The Sea

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.

~Anne Morrow Lindbergh

My 12x12 group's last challenge was the sea, here is my piece:

 My piece for 'The Sea' is my interpretation of sea foam. I hooped water soluble stabilizer and heavily thread painted the large foamy pieces.  

This is what the piece looked like when I put the needlework onto the quilted base before I began the handwork.

The final piece.

 And most important, Jack, my adviser and coach in everything I make.

We have new members and their work is FABULOUS!  See all of "The Sea" challenges at: http://upforachallengeartquilts.blogspot.com/
