Apaay and her Fish

Apaay and Her Fish is the finishing design for the Polare Explorers, Wild and Wonderful Facebook group. I encountered an artist, Dorothy Francis, many years ago on a trip to Ottawa. I fell in love with her drawings of children from the Alaskan bush. Little did I know 40 years later, they would inspire me to design a child from the Alaskan bush. The block measures 18” x 18”.

The kit includes the background fabric, hand-dyed wool, a printed pattern with five fish charms, and a wooden dog button.
