Sunset at Sea
A hidden coded message sits at the center of Sunset at Sea, my JOIDES Resolution Expedition 390 quilt. Final quilt #19 in my Stories from the South Atlantic Ocean series, 44 x 38 inches, completed Sept 22 2023. I used Da Gama Three Cats Shweshwe, Rosalind Coggon's ship graphic, Laurel Burch background and gold-thread longarm quilting. Feel free to contact me for a hint.
