Sometimes all it takes is a photograph and inspiration manifests itself. For Elizabeth Budd, the photo happened to be one she took of Santa Cruz, California in 2018. With a single shot, West Cliff Arch was born, and the amazing machine quilting, fused appliqué, and painting she did helped usher in Elizabeth's creation for the world to see.

West Cliff Arch by Elizabeth Budd of Lewisville, Texas was featured in the Naturescape category at Houston 2019.
