After all the work I put in to making my flying geese the other day I came across a link to The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims. They were showing how to make flying geese with a one seam instruction. This gives you a 3 dimensional look. Here is a link to the video: One seam flying geese
It is really interesting. I still like my templates that I used for the first part of the wall hanging I am making but I am going to try this method for the next border and see how it looks.
I received my new issue of American Quilter yesterday. Sometimes this magazine doesn’t have a lot in it that I will use. The magazine is always interesting to look at but in this issue there are actually quite a few neat things in it that I might want to make. You can join the American Quilter’s Society for $25.00 a year and you get 6 issues of the magazine a year – individual price on the magazine is $5.99 so you get more than you paid for the yearly fee. With your membership you can order books from them at a discount and even greater discount on sales book. With the membership if you get to go to the yearly Paducah Quilt Show you get a discounted entrance fee also.
I finished block E-13 for “Insanity Revisted” (Dear Jane) this is the last block for the 5th row. I will next attach the long strip of sashing to this row and attach to the 4th row.
Yesterdays question was What are the following: Bodkin, Boot Spur, Emery Pouch?
The answer is Sewing tools. If you are interested in what these items are there are links attached to 2 of them, but I could find nothing on how or what a boot spur is in relation to quilting!!! Does anyone know what this is for quilting?
