The Crabpot at Lincoln City, Oregon

For Christmas this year I decided to make my friend Sue a small wall hanging of The Crabpot near Lincoln City in Oregon. Its a fish shack that we have visited previously and again this past October. Sue tried to buy a print of this iconic location but couldn't find one.

The quilt I made is about 20" x 17" and uses some hand dyed fabrics and some commercial ones. The lettering I drew onto the fabric and then free motion quilted around it.

The funny thing was that we were given a painting by Sue and Fred for Christmas and it was the same Crabpot! We were so surprised and it seems like the artist wasn't even sure he wanted to sell it but wanted it to go to the local museum. Sorry but we now have it!
