Last year, SAQA (Studio Art Quilts Associates) put out a call for fish or fish quilts for an exhibition in Florida USA. It was actually more than textile fish, they also wanted poets to explore underwater life. It sounded like a perfect challenge for me, so I made a thread painted fish.

I put him or her on a fabric to photograph but it is actually free standing not attached to a background.
You can read about it here.
A selected number of artists and poets were included in a book called Fresh Fish and I was thrilled to be accepted. My copy of the book has arrived.

My fish is with a poem called Longshore Workers by Phyllis Wax from Wisconsin.
I received another book in the mail; every year I publish my blog posts from the previous year. It's actually a really handy resource for me as I often look up my blog books to remember how I did something or where a quilt was exhibited.
My blog book for 2020 is here, I am amazed I wrote many blog posts at all because after my solo exhibition on March, we were locked down for most of the year. Somehow, I managed to carry on and keep busy though.

Congratulations to you and your fish for being published! That's exciting!!
Good idea too to have your blog posts published. I often think how upset I'd be if my blog disappeared forever - all that information would be lost.
Thanks Magpie Mumblings, you should look into getting your blog posts printed. Blog2print make it so easy.
It was funny when I clicked onto your blog and saw the blog book, I thought it was mine!! Then realised we both have the same cover colour and design on our 2020 books! THey are a great resource and I often have to look up to see what year something in my life occurred.
Hi Jude, I noticed that we had chosen the same cover as well. I try and change it every year, although there are not many colours available. I often use them to refresh my memory though! It is a sort of diary. Maybe my children will be interested one day.
