My Dad has always  been a fisherman. He taught me to fish. He still fishes whenever he can, which is often since he retired. I associate fish with him. Every time I see fish fabric, I think of my Dad.<\/p>\n

This quilt is in my gallery, but I made it before I started this blog. I never wrote about it in the way I write about other quilts I have made.<\/p>\n

Soonish after I bought my Janome MC 9000, in about 1997, I made a quilt for my Dad. I bought some novelty fabrics with fish on them and made a quilt using improv techniques.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons I bought the Janome MC 9000 was so I could do machine quilting (shocking, I know). I did machine quilt this quilt. I used an eyelet stitch. That means, I sewed little circles all over the quilt. I chose this stitch, because straight quilting all over the was even too much at that time. I should have known machine quilting wasn’t for me. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I called this quilt Friday Fishwrap because of some of the fabric I found, which was fish on newsprint. It’s shown on the top of the fabric above.<\/p>\n

Since making this quilt, I have made two sets of pillowcases for my Dad. I made the first set<\/a> a few years ago, in 2015, when my Dad retired. The other set<\/a> I made this year. They kind of go with the quilt.<\/p>\n
