‘Evening at the Beach’ by Roxy Pike

This quilt's inspiration was a photo of two of my Grands on the last evening of their beach vacation at Clearwater, Florida. Granddaughter and Grandson are both 15 years old, but not twins. She was adopted from Russia as a baby and he became part of our large family 1 1/2 years ago.

They are friends and siblings taking in the beautiful colors of nature and knowing the next morning they would be on their way home to Georgia. I took artist's license and added the kites and sandcastle.

I used Cherrywood 's indigo, a SkyDye by Mickey Lawler and the water fabric is from Lunn Studio. The sky was created using a technique from "Radiant Landscapes" by Gloria Loughman. I folded/scrunched the Lunn fabric and added embellishments trying for waves.
