This mini art quilt is inspired by my city, Vancouver BC<\/a>, which is located in a spectacular scenic location between the mountains and the ocean.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>As the sun sets, the sky and mountains take on a dusky purple hue.\u00a0 The rays of the setting sun reflect off the windows of the city buildings, giving them a golden glow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My starting point was an art quilt I made in 2010 (wow, time flies!).\u00a0 I used the image to make a line drawing.\u00a0 As with the original, I used actual, realistic lines for the North Shore Mountains, but I simplified the buildings and reflections.\u00a0\u00a0 I included the distinctive shape of the Harbour Centre<\/a> Lookout tower.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I fused the fabrics to a piece of felt cut to the finished size of 6″ x 8″.\u00a0 I quilted it,\u00a0<\/em>using shiny rayon threads for the water.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then I folded the edges to the back of the felt, and fused on a backing.<\/p>\n
