I’m working on a journal quilt (8.5 x 11 inches) for an upcoming quilt retreat. The theme is Sanctuary. Most definitions refer to churches and holy places, but those words just weren’t generating any design ideas for me.
A synonym of ‘sanctuary’ is ‘safe haven: a harbor or anchorage protected from the sea’. That reminded me of a photo I took last summer when visiting Salt Spring Island BC, of sailboats moored in Fulford Harbour. I love the reflection of the sailboat masts in the water, so I cropped that part of the photo, traced the reflections and fused some fabrics. I like how it’s looking so far.
I’m linking up to:

I LIKE it! Can’t wait to see it finished, Terry!
Cropping a photo just right is such a challenge! Love your result.
