Check out the Flying Geese quilts and Vote

I have entered my Scarlet and Gray Allover at the Quilting Gallery themed quilt contest

Please enjoy looking at the all the different versions of Flying Geese quilts and Vote!!


For my non-quilting friends you may be asking what is a Flying Geese?

A flying is geese is a unit that is twice as long as it is wide and is made up of 3 triangles.



This block is made up of 2 Flying Geese units, and was used in piecing the border.


Flying Geese are also used to create Variable Stars.

The center block of my quilt is made up of 3 different sizes of Flying Geese.

I would like to share something with you!!!

I saw this over at Susan's and liked the idea--who doesn't like getting random gifts in the mail throughout the year?  So, here we go:



Rules:

1. I will make a little something for the first 3 people that comment on this post. It will be a surprise and may arrive at any time in the next 365 days (yes, a year).


2. To sign up to receive a gift from me you must play along too.  Share the giving love on your blog by promising to send a handmade goodie to the first three people that comment on your blog post.


3. You must have a blog.


4. After commenting on my post, you have to post this (or similar) on your blog to spread the love.


I don't know if three people will even get around to commenting on this, but I will say that if you find this post 6 months from now and only 2 people have bothered to comment, you can still be commenter #3 and get a random goodie from me!  When you comment, I'll email you and get your address and then you should get something from me sometime before next September.

Check out Dawn's Blooming Nine Patch and VOTE!!!

I have entered a Blooming Nine Patch at Quilting Gallery's themed quilt contest.

I say my first Blooming Nine Patch at a local quilt show and decided to make one using directions I found on the internet. 

Using my 1990's stash caused me to run out of fabric and I had to redo some of the blocks to complete the quilt.  Now I have to figure out what fabric to use for the binding.

My sister Dawn has placed her name on this quilt.


And I guess Garfield has also!!
