After several years of drought, we finally got a lovely wet winter, and I just couldn’t stop doing quilts with a water theme. Then my Sweet Sixteen quilting machine broke, forcing me to use my regular sewing machine for all of my quilting. That gave me the idea to create the large-scale piece I wanted out of five separate, narrow and easy-to-quilt panels. I loved how the unplanned result told the story of the journey of water from puddle to marsh to lake to river, and finally to the ocean.
