Later this month, I\u2019ll be heading to Naniamo BC for the annual conference of the Fibre Art Network<\/a>.  As usual we will have an art exchange.  All participants are invited to create a journal size quilt (8.5 by 11 inches) inspired by this year\u2019s conference theme, \u2018Coastal Networks\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These prompts were provided for inspiration for the exchange:
\u2022 The ocean reflecting the sunset?
\u2022 Life under the sea?
\u2022 A network of friends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second phrase “life under the sea” reminded me of my art quilt “Synchronized Swimming<\/a>” that I made last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought it would be fun to use the same fabrics and shapes on a smaller scale for my journal piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with the original, I pieced and quilted the background before adding the fish. Then I used paper shapes to audition various positions for the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
