I was delighted to teach a "fish" course in Florida on the 21st of September and these lovely ladies are just beginning to show off.
We borrowed each others fabric and integrated some scrap-booking supplies and silk flowers in these creations. It is so different than making a serious pieced quilt that it is actually difficult at first - but we let our hair down and just had fun. Quilters hate to waste a scrap of fabric but these little beauties were small enough that we didn't mind experimenting with different fins and eyes.
For me - I love to teach because I learn so much from my students - they always stretch me beyond my expectations. Great fun.

This is Opal my little cat. She was surveying the fish from her favorite spot.
The last fish is the one I started at the class. So I want to thank the ladies that trusted enough to come and play with me. Thank you so very much.
After I left you I found "The Canyons" zip line and found that there is still that little adventurous girl in me (hiding behind this gray hair and wrinkles.)
