Goofy Geese - the Finish!!! and!!! Finished (or not) Friday!!

Gosh  you guys!! We are kicking it!!! We are finishing so many things!!! Consistently we have 25 plus link ups each week - you all should feel great about your progress!!


Today - My Brag is ....drumroll please.... my GOOFY GEESE!!!


I really thought about some custom quilting and making the cream/whites different... but when I got down to it - I really didn't want to - so I Went with some Graffiti Quilting....


And I had fun with it....



and now!! 

IT IS DONE!!!! Its a cute little thing.... I have it draped over one of my couches - Lightens up the place ;-)  I think it is fun to see what things can be done using the Leader/Ender idea - so many of you do that .. It just feels like I'm getting two things done at once. 

I took this quilt to my Guild for Show and Tell - and during our presentation our speaker started the discussion of what pens to use to write your labels.  This is the one I use :


The Pilot Laundry Pen   I have cloth labels that I designed for our Quilts of Valor - and there are three places to write names - so this is What I use, and Knock on Wood - they haven't washed out...


What do you use? Do they survive washing?




Now it is your turn!!!

Brag away - Link up those fabulous Finishes ( or not)

Share the link up - maybe we can encourage more people to finish things.

Oh!! A funny - we had a new member at our Guild meeting. Our President said "How are you coming on our UFO challenge?" and the new member asked me what a UFO was... oh the innocence ;-)

I answered - and she says - I don't have those!  in my mind I said - Stick around friend. haha!  

Its so cool to have new members for real - its fun to relive their excitement of learning new things!!

Goofy Geese

 I get teased a lot about my Leader/Ender projects - and I get picked on about the piles by my sewing machine - but I am a DEDICATED Leader/Ender person!! My Grandma used this method when stitching garments, and she would have Quilt blocks made at the end of making a dress... She used them to *stitch off* the garment, and to make sure the needle didn't get stuck in her good fabrics...

Well!!! I have been making Half squares ( ahem - I know!!) with my 5 inch squares here and there, and assembling them into flying geese.

Thursday night I might not have been able to sleep so I started throwing those Goofy Geese up on the wall...




And I might have decided I kind of liked that random pattern - so I added some creams and white, played a little tetris with figuring how to piece it  - and now!! I have a 60 x 70 ish top!!!


I even have a backing made, and if all goes well it will be pinned and ready to load on the longarm today - and when there is a spare moment.... I will quilt it!!!
