Merryjo2003 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi all, this is a quilt I made and donated to the Eagle Lake Guardians (eaglelakeguardians.org) for a raffle fundraiser. My sister is a co-founder of this non-profit organization which was formed to protect the lake and unique trout species that lives there. They will be posting to their website soon. It was a really fun project. I played around with thread painting and freehanded some of the "wet flies" commanly used by the fishermen. I also couldn't resist placing some 2mm Swarovski crystals on the fish. They're hard to see in the pics. Hope you like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
