Quilt from SAQA 2018 online auction 11-11-18

"Fish Dinner"  Sheila Gaquin  2018  12" X 12"
Cotton fabrics, cotton and metallic thread.  Machine raw edge applique, Machine quilting.  

Sheila lives in the Pacific Northwest, Washington, I believe.  Her blog is
Quilting in the Blue Barn    http://sheilakg.blogspot.com/2018/

Of course I would choose this quilt to add to the bird selections in the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection.   Looking at Sheila's blog shows me that her work is very realistic and she has done some larger quilts that are quite wonderful.  And also a series of purses and pillows with realistic sea life.   


He has a mouthful of little fish for his meal. 

The wings are layered raw edge applique using some great grey fabrics.  

A nice watery backing. 

Not enough information in the label.  I have no contact for this artist other than her blog.  
She rarely blogs.
