FISH FOR NOAH
At least a couple years ago I made some fish placemats for myself. Over the Thanksgiving holiday I had them on our everyday dining table when my grandson Noah (age 12) came over. He is a big fish fan. Over the last couple of years he has saved money and purchased a 55 gallon fish tank and a wonderful collection of tropical fish swimming around in it. Needless to say he really liked those placemats and asked if I would make a set of them for his house. Who can ignore that sort of request.
Well, fish number one all fused together. I love this new appliqué mat I purchased in October at a quilt show. Fusamat by Sharon Bradley. You can lay it over your appliqué pattern and see through it to assist with placement of pieces.
And a second one done and placed on the background. I have finished all six appliqués, placed them on their backgrounds and I am ready to start quilting them. Yes, every one of them is a different combination of fabric. So fun! I know he will love them.
