This one has been 'on the burner' for awhile :) I finally got it off the sketch pad and done in fabric.
I'm open to suggestions for a title for it, if you have any suggestions. Can you spot the three dragonflies?
I did some 'sashiko' type stitching on it, and quite like the effect. The fish are all done with my hand painted fabrics.
I did two rows of flying geese, to portray the fish movement, one row got slightly covered.
I look forward to comments.
This wall hanging was sold at the show April 26th.

Rhoda, this is SO good, beautiful... being a traditional quilter first, I am drawn to your flying geese blocks, very effective. And do I detect some beautiful hand quilting?? You called it sashiko.... it is a different form of hand quilting, kind of like ... what do they say, laying down a grain of rice onto the fabric. It is a nice variation to hand quilting as we know it, would you say?
Love your hand painted fabric. I have been doing some of that this winter... hope to get good at it.
Thank you for sharing...
Carole
Love your school of fish, Rhoda. The sashiko dragonflies are wonderful.
