quilted birds














I love ravens. A couple of years ago I decided to make a raven quilt. A visit to the Gee's Landing Quilt show inspired cutting & sewing a bolder version of my first sketch. Recently I woke under this Flying Raven quilt, & was enjoying its colors & warmth. Hmm, I thought, maybe I should make a painting based on it. Raven at Home emerged. The white borders on the right & bottom suggested a set of 4 with the borders rotating to different positions. Flying Pelican & Flicker came next. Kingfisher is in process. I'll hang these, with small studies of the quilt patterns, at Sebastopol Gallery from April 11 to May 30.

Sebastopol Gallery is at 150 North Main, open daily 11-6, www.sebastopol-gallery.com.
