It's time for Thursday Likes! Please visit LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color to link up with other bloggers participating in I Like Thursday. I received my July clue for the Laurel Ridge Block of the Month sponsored by The Quilt Show. I have to make 24 blocks, 12 blocks in 2 different colorways. Here you can see my flying geese being chain pieced. I had to make a total of 96 (Yes, 96!!) flying geese. It took a few days. I use the 4 at a time method so I guess that's a bit quicker than doing them individually. I'm in the process of sewing the blocks together. I've made 4 so far. Sort of slow!!
I had to go to the library yesterday to log in my tutoring hours for the month of June. The sun was shining when I walked by this window. So gorgeous! I love our library and am happy to be a part of it even in a small way.
Our prompt this week asks us if we like picnics as well as what type of picnic. I suppose as a kid we always had our lunches at the beach right on our beach blanket which is a sort of picnic. I did the same thing when my kids were little. That beach sure makes you hungry! Now that I'm older, I love to sit on my deck, at a table, and eat outdoors. I try to do that often in the summer. It's so nice to enjoy the fresh air while eating dinner.
Have a great holiday weekend! 🎆🎇🧨
I like the gold of your piecing. Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sally! Have a great holiday!
DeleteThank you so much for making my Laurel Ridge design!
ReplyDeleteLynn, so honored you commented on my blog! Thank you for writing such a great pattern! Happy 4th of July!!
DeleteThat is a gorgeous stained glass window. I wonder what the design is. Meanwhile, what a lot of hst's...amazing how you real quilters can do that...stitch so many I mean! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jocelyn! I think the key to make this many of anything is to just keep going! I like to work on my projects a little bit at a time so it's not overwhelming. I'm not sure if I'm a real quilter or just a little crazy!
DeleteThat window is glorious!
