For now I a have a speed boat on a lake to satisfy me.

I know it's gorgeous. The Oregon Coast Quilt Guild will be raffling it off next year during their show Aug 5-6, 2011. Tickets probably aren't on sale yet, but you could probably google them and contact them...
The pattern might be a little hard to copy, one of the guild members told me it cost them over a $150 to create the ship's silk screen, and they had to get permission from the artist first...

Thank you so much for posting these!

thanks so much for sharing what an inspiration!

They are all beautiful quilts. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

Thanks for sharing all the great pictures! The hand print ones are from a book. e-mail me or post here if you would like the title. LOTS of great handprinting ideas...
