I’m not sure what all I did yesterday but the day seemed to fly by and I didn’t really even start to sew until evening. That does seem to be my normal time for sewing. For some reason I am running all over the place during the daytime hours – going grocery shopping, cleaning house, cooking, and in warm weather yard work. I have been working on my one seam flying geese. I put a link the other day to a short video lesson that I had seen on a quilting list some where. I hope you all enjoyed it. I must say I had to watch it about 3 times to get my seams in the correct space! Talk about not watching and listening to the directions right. On the wall hanging that I am doing I did the Dutchman’s Puzzle pattern for the center using Marti’s templates for the smaller geese; and then for the outer border I used Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims one seam geese; they are larger and 3 dimensional. I have two of the border strips to sew onto the wall hanging still they are just pinned in place for the photo, I will get to it sometime soon I’m sure.
Yesterday’s question was Where is “quilt city USA”? the answer is Paducah, Kentucky. What a wonderful small river town. It is right next to the Ohio River and has a wonderful sea wall area. The Quilt Museum is located there and the yearly American Quilters Society quilt show is held at the convention center every April.
I found that series of questions that I have been posting out there on the great internet. That last question finished that series. I have found another one that I will start posting from today.
This set of question is stated that it is for beginners – lets see if they are right about that.
