Title: Journeys 4
Night Flight
Description: I was very anxious about leaving home for a proposed 4-month long trip and made this quilt to deal with the anxiety of being gone so long. I thought about the final stage of my long flight when the plane comes in low over Durban harbour a few minutes before landing. I would be able to see the lights of ships, buildings and streets shimmer on the water. The excitement of seeing that view is almost unbearable. I am almost home.
Materials: Commercial and hand-dyed cotton, silk, taffeta, brocade and velvet.
Machine and hand pieced and appliquéd, machine quilted. |
