So Friday's project with the Chertsey ladies was foundation flying geese.
This is the sample that I took along to show them what they would be doing
And this I brought to show them what this could lead to! (just one block to finish,then two blocks to join and then I'm ready for borders . . . only taken me a year, each block is 2.75 inches square!)
Deborah went for some tiny flying geese, and managed to get quite far along her panel
Carol "saw" a Christmas tree in the geese, so we adapted the first section into a tree pot and she's off with green triangles for her tree
Denise started a wall hanging
While Kay is planning to make four two-geese panels and then assemble them as a pin wheel
Susan is new to the group, but as each project is unrelated to the others that wasn't a disadvantage
I thought I'd got photos of everyones work, but it would seem not. Iris is also planning a pinwheel design, Beryl is making a wall hanging, and also took a piece of the tiny stars which she will use in a Christmas card, and Jenny had a couple of false starts, but I'm sure will wow us with her achievements next month.
Next month will actually be a sort of continuation project. They want to do some quilting, so they will bring back their finished flying geese, and we will quilt them
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
All looking good! Love the action in the log cabin and your pedicure is upto it's usual standard. Lol.
ReplyDeleteYou slave-driver you!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is rather amazing though, and probably scared them just a tad!
Fabulous - I love hearing about you passing textile skills on through your teaching. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI love the log cabin, colours are fab
