"He Heard The Surf Roar" by Ana Buzzalino was inspired by a photo of Lawrencetown Beach in Nova Scotia.

He Heard The Surf Roar is one of the quilts that Ana finished recently. Its inspiration came from a photo of Lawrencetown Beach in Nova Scotia, which was printed on fabric and used as the background. Ana visited there in 2012 to teach and just loved the foggy early-morning look of the photo she took so much that she needed it to be a quilt. She says that some of the rocks from the beach came home with her in her pockets. She started piecing the quilt but put it away for a while because she didn't like some of the free-motion quilting and knew she would have to take it out. After sitting for TEN HOURS hand-picking away the bad free-motion quilting, Ana went back to work and finished her amazing quilt.
