Welcome to my stop on the Sunlit Garden Blog Hop.
I was thrilled when Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations asked whether I would like to join the Sunlit Garden BlogHop. Of course, I said YES!
Here is my quilt, named Miracle Fish!
 |
| Miracle Fish, 60" by 60" |
The red and green together is evocative of Christmas, but this collection has vibes of Spring with floral reds and leafy greens. Christmas made me think of Christ and Christ made me think of Fish.

Paul: Jesus was the fisher of men.
Me: That sounds painful. No fish wants to be fished or hooked. I thought it is because He multiplied fish to feed people.
Paul: That could be too.
Me: Wasn't He the shepherd? Guiding humanity?
Paul: That He was. Jesus was many things.
Me: That I agree.
This fabric collection can be many things too - bright Spring vibes or Christmas vibes. Many possibilities.

The flimsy was just under 60" square. So I used the 60" square Hobbs Silk Blend Batting.

I quilted in one direction using my walking foot. I used Turquoise Variegated Thread to mimic water.

I used 12 out of the 20 fabrics in the collection. The background is Island Batik Solid White, as is the binding. I used Dark Green backing and here are some close-up pictures.

I enjoyed making this quilt. Why am I calling it Miracle Fish?
Well, if fish can climb a tree, that is miraculous!

Paul and I went to a children's playground one early morning to take these pictures. The playground furniture provided several fun settings for the photoshoot. The cloudy sky provided the diffused lighting.

Cloudy Skies, low temperatures and high winds make for a bitterly cold season. How I wish for a Miracle? Sharing with all my favorite linky parties. See full list on the sidebar.
