Created from an image she "took in Cape Town from a window overlooking the Harbour at the Fenders (tyres)", Sue de Vanny's work looks more like a photo than a quilt. On Reflection - Cape Town Harbour Fenders won Best Use of Color - Wall Quilt Competition at PIQF 2019 and it's not hard to see why. The most impressive work is how she uses "fabrics like dollops of paint to create the picture then thread sketching the detail."

On Reflection - Cape Town Harbour Fenders by Sue de Vanny of Greenvale, Australia won Best Use of Color - Wall Quilt Competition at the Pacific International Quilt Festival (PIQF) 2019.

Your subject matter reminds me of photos I've taken while on trips. I don't think I have the talent to turn it into a magnificent quilt. Thank you for sharing.

Whoever would have thought to put old tires hanging on the edge of the water, would be the focus of a quilt. What a great idea. Love the quilt.
