Born in Hawaii and raised in California, Rhonda Montgomery's 'happy place' is on the beach with her children, so she made a quilt of her children at the beach. She found it appropriate to share her story on the appliquéd surfboard and used "storm at sea" to create her ocean. The hibiscus border is her tribute to Hawaiian quilts.
