TGIFF - Coastal Pouch Swap

My quilt guild, Maritime Modern Quilt Guild, did a pouch swap with the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild.  The theme was coastal -- we're on the east coast of Canada and Vancouver on the west coast. 

I choose the Inside-Outside Pouch by Aneela Hoey.  My first version of this pouch was made at Sewtopia Seattle in November 2019.


I turned these 2.5-inch HSTs into fish.  Fish and fishing are important to both coasts of Canada.


I paired the front and back fish panels with some Island Batik fabrics.


A great turtle and seaweed batik for the inside.


I hoped that the vinyl on the front would make it seem like the fish was in a fishbowl.

  4. That looks terrific. I think the fish does look like he's in a bowl. I was wondering about the label? Is it hand done? Computer or ???
