A Fish Quilt for a Very Special Biologist

My husband is an avid fisherman who is also a biologist with a keen interest in fish and water quality.  Months ago I found the perfect quilt kit made by McKenna Ryan called Rock Bottom and I knew that it would make a wonderful gift for the special guy in my life.  I first posted about a fish quilt that I made for my husband's office here.  This is the second in a series of three quilts that were designed to be hung side by side.  The second quilt is finished except for the fish eyes, which are waiting for suitable buttons to be found.

This quilt suits my husband quite well and soon it will be hanging on his office wall next to the first fish quilt.  I machine quilted it using a rayon variegated thread for the wave action and then a lightweight monofiliament thread for the borders.

My son Seb and I just picked up our fishing licenses, with the hope to be soon standing mid-stream with our lures in the water, fishing to our heart's content.  What a way to spend a morning, standing in a clear mountain stream, trying to catch a big one.  Well, any size would do since we just let them go to catch another day....

Fishing, anyone?
