A Fish out of Water

While in Juneau Alaska I went into a quilt shop

and saw this wallhanging made up and I really liked it.

So I bought the pattern and this is the result............

This is one of those patterns where you START with

your quilt sandwich and lay the pattern pieces

(which you have made from freezer paper)

onto the quilt sandwich and sew them down

with a STRAIGHT stitch leaving the edges raw.

I decided to just put it on the longarm and sew

the pieces using it instead of the DSM.

Now, you may remember in an earlier post

I mentioned that I DID NOT like that this salmon

was jumping out of the water and I intended to

re-arrange these fish and put him IN the water!

How silly!

Fish don't jump out of the water!

Well..........they do!

I just looked and looked at all of my Ketchiken pictures

and I can't find a single one of the fish fully jumping out

of the water............But that doesn't mean that they didn't

jump.........it just means that my photography was quite

good enough to catch them!

So on my wallhangings the salmon

jump out of the water as well!

This little quiltlet will be sent off soon for

the Good Ol' Summertime swap.
