So I decided to make a quilt with the winners from last years WK&WGS Koi Show (http://washingtonkoi.org/). I printed out the winning Koi onto printable fabric, it needs to say washable. You can find this at places that cater to crafts. I've gotten them from Jo-Ann Fabrics, and this year I got EQ Printables from the Sewing and Stitchery Expo (http://www.sewexpo.com/). Anyway then I used my EQ6 software to create a design to put the photos into, and then I started looking for fabric. A little here, a little there, and finally Saturday I had the red that I was looking for. Yesterday afternoon, I started ripping strips and just kept going, couldn't stop even when everyone else in the house went to bed.
As you can see I embroidered the winning category next to the picture of the winning Koi. I still need to add the year and my initials to the sashing. The back will be the same blue koi as the outside boarder. I still need to figure out how I want to quilt it. It would be fun if I could do a simplified version of a fish all over it, but I don't know if it would look good. I think I will consult some professionals.
