Sunset - Crazy Mountain Sunset

An abstract fabric interpreation of a mountain sunset, using crazy quilting techniques and plain and beaded embroidery.

For the first full spread in Gabe Cyr's Sunset themed fabric book, I went "crazy." I used crazy quilting techniques learned from Crazy with Cotton to create an abstract scene of the mountain sunsets I see daily. It needed more definition so I did additional embroidery and added a button for the sun and some beads to try replicate the sparkle of the sun's rays on the layers of clouds.

A detail of the spread near the button sun.

Here is a closer detail shot of the embroidery and beads used near the button "sun."
