I was commissioned to make an art quilt inspired by a photo of the HMS Endurance, Ernest Shackleton's antarctic exploration vessel.

Here are my reference photo (taken by Frank Hurley on August 27, 1915) and some process pictures!

I printed a scale copy of the image, then used it to create an applique pattern and to trace the rigging onto water soluble fabric so I could free motion quilt over all the lines. (FMQ is essentially freehand sketching with your sewing machine by manually moving the quilt under your needle in whatever patterns you want to create with thread.)
