It started as a different project, and ended up being in the "maybe I will discard it" pile. On December 2008, during the holidays, I decided to either finish it or discard it. It started as a piece of painted Wonder Under. I painted the ocean scene with acrylic paints, then it was fused on organza placed onto a piece of hand-painted silk (although you can't tell). A piece of tan silk complements the sand. The paint was adjusted, before and after the quilting was done. There is beading for the drops of water on the waves, and the foam. The three people are my two youngest children, Ale on the left and Sabrina on the right and myself, looking for shells in Pinamar (Buenos Aires - Argentina).

This quilt was juried into the 2009 International Quilt Festival in Houston in the Miniature Category.
