I admit that somewhere along the way I have ended up with extra cut piece from various steps, so have kept them all in a pile should I have use for them in future steps. Yippie! I had at least 20 leftover geese cut from Clue #2, so was ahead of the game when I started (and completed) the cutting and piecing on Saturday.
It was a gloomy and rainy day here in Chicagoland, so sewing in the basement was just what I wanted to be doing. I must admit that it was nice to have company in the basement as my college age son was enjoying his first day of break playing video games in the other area of the basement. Of course, the continued encouragement of my dear husband has been a wonderful shot in the arm when the arm gets too tired to finish my work. He is so supportive of my quilting and recovery efforts. I am truly blessed!
The geese pieced together well and as expected, when assembling them into complete units with 64 of the previous Flying Geese, several of these birds seem to have had a nose job. Meaning that their beaks are sometimes cut off and hidden in the seam. As I mentioned in the lessons learned in Clue#2, this is a learning piece and I am happy with the overall outcome. Here are the assembled units now on my design wall.

All done for now with Clue #4. Anxiously awaiting Clue #5 on Friday. So glad to have this opportunity. What a wonderful gift from Bonnie that I am thrilled to have given myself!
Even better is that both my son and daughter are home from college. These are all the gifts I need!
I like your colors. And I know you're enjoying having both children home for a while -- we really miss them when they're gone, don't we? I enjoy the quiet, but my house seems too quiet without my kids around. :)
ReplyDeleteYour stacked geese look fantastic. Only two of my children will be at home this year, the other 4 are in various places. I'll miss them. Glad your family will be together this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Great colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement!
