A growing Flock of Geese

 I have been working on some Flock of Geese Blocks - while some have been winging their way here!!!


These are the ones I was working on - and I got to this point and thought - I wonder what would happen if I used the Darker ones that are flying in??? would it look Cool.... kind of Luminesce?


What is a quilter to do? Other than Try it and see what it looks like????
So I DID!!





I had a bunch of boys over and this was hanging on my design wall ( Yes -  I have truly taken over the whole house - if you want to eat in the kitchen... you have to see my quilting area.... its just how I roll)

but! the good news is - they all approved and so I felt like it was okay to start rowing it!!!

and look... I had a birthday - ( My 29!! thank you very much) and I told everyone the WHOLE month was about me - so the hubby and I headed out to the Wild Animal Sanctuary and took a selfie!!





If you got sucked in by the drama of the Tiger King in the early pandemic... The Wild Animal Sanctuary was KEY in rescuing a lot of those animals - 78 I believe was the number..... and The WAS did an amazing job!!!!

Alright - back to stitching... I need to Finish something for Finished (or not) Friday!!! See you then!!!

Good choice on the geese- they were luminescing on my screen! I didn't get into the show but I certainly heard about it, and I'm glad there was a safe place for the tigers to end up.

Our DIL has a birthday month (mostly because she travels a lot for work, or did pre-COVID) so her dinners/etc. are scattered accordingly. I quite like the idea myself (the month, not the travel). Happy Birthday to YOU!

Love this setting for the geese. It’s always amazing to me how scrappy can look so well thought out.
