The next blocks for the Polaris quilt are curved flying geese units. I started my first one and realized I was doing it entirely wrong, so pulled out Karen Neary's book "Quilting Beauties for a brief review. After an aha experience, I was off a the correct track.
I now have half the geese sewn and the fabric cut for the rest.
I think they are looking pretty good.
I decided that their was something wrong with my purple hat, that I was knotting. I checked the pattern again, and realized I was using the wrong size needles. So the hat was completely frogged and restarted. Looks much better now, though I haven't taken a new picture.
Many of our patio plants spend the winter in the dining room. This morning, I stepped in to see this.
The azalea has decided to brighten my January morning. The bright pop of colour is appreciated, since it is snowing again today. We have had lots of snow lately. This was the bird feeder on Friday, after over 20 cm of snow.
Another snowy week ahead, so more time to sew.
Your geese are looking pretty good. Love the azalea, a cheerful touch of colour in dull weather. My goodness, that's a whole heap of snow.....
