 Florida Sunset by Jeannette Ringuette, 18" x 22" Jeannette Ringuette's landscape quilt is based on a picture that a friend from work took while he was vacationing in Florida. She recreated the view in fabric and gave this to him as a late Christmas present. She used applique, thread art, fabric paint, and a bit of painted cheesecloth to create the beach scene. She even used a makeup pad which she painted yellow for the sun.  Jeannette used the Thistle Shades Pack for the perfect purple-gray colors of the evening sea. Thistle is a great fabric for landscape quilts. It's almost black but not as stark as black and the lighter shades are almost gray but not as cold as gray. It's very popular with landscape quilt artists.

Sunrise Watch by Mirian Ahladas, 27" x 37" This week's inspiration comes from quilt artist and painter, Miriam Ahladas. She used the Red Sunset and Barrier Island gradients in her piece. From Miriam: "The quilt was inspired by a beautiful purple and pink sunrise after an early morning shower. The sun warmed a new day as undulating wheat danced and sparkled in the field at the edge of my yard. I stood in awe of our life-sustaining earth. The colors of the fabrics and embellishments represent fire, earth, and water. Feathers represent birds soaring on wind currents. My Norwegian roots and a recent study of the Saami, the indigenous reindeer herders of the North, inspired most of the quilting."
