Sandee sent me a PM and ask that I post a larger pic of my Avatar. I used free pattern from http://fatcatpatterns.com/Aquatic%20Designs.html for the tropical fish but the rest was sort of just made up and put together. My husband drew the shark and I drew the starfish and shells by tracing some starfish and shells I had laying around the house. Notice the Sharks tooth a the bottom leaning against the corals. We dive for sharks teeth when on vacation. We have a 6" tooth that we found and alot of 3" and 4" teeth.

I am slowly working on stitching all of the appliques down and plan to add the silhoutte of a scuba to it also. It is a work in process.

Right now it is hung on the window in my sewing room and I kind of like it there.

Deb, I was just reading your blog earlier today and I too think it looks wonderful on your window. Almost like being in the water with them. Maybe you can make your hubby another one?

I really like that, you did good!!

Sensational! You folks have a ton of talent!!

It's looking really great!!

I love it!!!

I haven't done a thing to it since the last time I saw you!. Totally blew by the Guild meeting on Tuesday, alot going on. I just realized it yesterday.

Beautiful. I feel like I'm swimming with sea creatures. I love your work. Kudos to you!

It is so cool. My husband dives. He liked it too.

Looks like the perfect place for your Avatar....

lol I know what you mean about having a lot going on - and not getting things done. I figured you might have done some more of the appliques. I'm going to be doing the Kool Kaleidoscope workshop tomorrow at the Combo. I'm looking forward to getting out - perfect timing!! I've been home most of the week with Collin now after his tonsil surgery and now Logan was up last night throwing up.... I predict a fun day for all today lol. I still need to make my strip sets for tomorrow's workshop...!

I can vouch that pictures do not do this quilt justice!
