folksy fish {new patterns!}

For those of you who keep up with me on IG, these fish aren't exactly news. Over the past several weeks (or has it been months?) I've been piecing together an arsenal of scandinavian-inspired fish.

It all started with a bit of oakshott and some scraps from my friend Heather of Crimson Tate's new fabric line, Succulents.

And then I ventured into Doe territory (somewhat prophetic, given that it was right around the time I decided my next Succulent Path would be a mash up of the two lines).

On to my itty bitty scrap packs of Karen Lewis Textiles...

And of course I couldn't resist digging into my Liberty lawns...

Neons...

Or the teensy bit of Anna Maria Horner in my stash (I know, blasphemy)...

Or capping them off with a cheeky bit of cotton steel (you know, the catfish).

Now the only question is, when do I stop? ;o) Certainly not just yet. Not now that I've recently come into a charm pack of Gardenvale courtesy of my friend Amanda of Material Girl Quilts (she's closing up shop to focus on patterns, so grab her inventory while you can!)

As for these little fishies, if you'd care to sew a school of your own, you can get the patterns in my craftsy or etsy shops (the eight designs to date are available in two sets :: angular and linear).

angular series {nos. 1-4}

linear series {nos. 5-8}
And tell me, what other creatures should join this crew, fish or otherwise? I've been sketching a few tribal-inspired designs, along with a few curve-free fellows. Let me know if you can think of anything else you'd like to see in this sea!

Thanks for stopping by :)
