The following batch of “Part 2” fish never made it out of the net! Seriously, we tried numerous times to land these fish in your email inbox, but they stubbornly refused.
So, if you missed this Part 2—Fantastical Fish post on Saturday, March 30, that’s because technical issues prevented it from going out to our subscription list. Some of you knew to check for the post through my website (susancarlson.com), and it was snagged there, a good backup to remember in case a post doesn’t show up in your email box.
The following fish collages—such as “Frannie the Fantastical Trophy Fish” (above) by Vickie Soderman and “Fish Dream” (below) by Susan Ryan—and more from my February Quilter’s Fantastical Trophy Fish class deserve as many tries as needed to get out to you, my readers. Please peruse and gush profusely in the comments about how wonderful they are.
Our apologies to the Part 2 fish collage quilters whose pieces are only now getting the attention they deserve. Check out Part 1 and Part 3 Quilter’s Fantastical Trophy Fish posts here.
The month-long class where these fish were created has been turned into the Fantastical Fish eWorkshop that you can follow whenever you feel the pull on your fishing rod. See details below.
