Links of Geese

Designed with an original block for clubEQ challenge for September, 2004: Use a Flying Geese block in a quilt design.

I set the block on point and used the Symmetry tool to help me find a fun layout.

Fox and Geese

Designed with the Fox & Geese block (in the EQ5 Block Library) for clubEQ challenge for September, 2004: Use a Flying Geese block in a quilt design.

Adding tints and tones of the background colors allowed me to create a glowing effect.

Flying Pigs

Play on Words
Using various sized flying geese, I made pig families. The goose (or pig) fabric was all different fabrics with a pig motif.

Pressed Flowers

What can I say? I designed a quirky flying geese block, selected some of my favorite fabrics designed by Deb Lunn and Michael Mrowka, and just started messing about.. Within a matter of minutes this design appeared on my screen. Can you find my flying geese parading as pressed flowers? Be sure to check out my quilt withou the patches and blocks outlined.

Christmas Goose

I drew a flying geese pattern for the border blocks and used goose steps for the inner blocks. Then put a goose motif on the top with layer 2.

Heading South!

I had started the border blocks some years ago and they were in my WIP file so when this challenge came up, I decided to go back and finish them. The geese silhouettes were traced from pictures in the newspaper and magazines of actual geese heading south in the fall.

Sweetmeat for a Farthing at Clovelly Fair

The center block, 'Flying Geese Log Cabin', is surrounded by a block called 'Capital T'. In this coloration the 'T' disappears and the flying geese remain.

North, South, East, West, Autumn at Home is Autumn at Best

The block used in the Points Out border -- "Geese to Infinity' -- is one I drew for Round Robin #55, for a quilt with a center by Diana Webster (Utah). Another member of RR55, Vigdis Stensrud Lund (Norway) paid me the compliment of using the block in her July challenge quilt. Those geese got around and met some nice ladies and that makes me feel very good!

The Geese Are Having A Meeting

I used the Pickle Dish Block from Sew Precise and then using the same block I
drew my version of :"Flying Geese." Then when I placed the block into the quilt this is
what came up.
I really didn't know what to do with the Geese Challenge. Howie and I were watching the Canada Geese having a meeting on the land next to our house. We decided that they were having a meeting and complaining about their leader who was always gettng lost.
I guess they decided enough was enough, and wanted to vote for a new leader.
There sure was a lot of squawking going on. We listened closely but couldn't make out who they voted for. Of course the gulls had to come down and break everything up, so we think their meeting went down the drain. Then on top of this hullabo the Wild Turkeys decided to have a meeting..
If you haven't seen a Wild Turkey well, I hate to say it because everything God makes is supposed to be beautiful. I think he goofed on these guys. They are so ugly that after awhile they look beautiful, but grouchy. All in all I think that our feathered friends were having a bad day.
Probably trying to make their minds up where to go becaue their relatives have emailed and told them then about the terrible weather. That's what they were doing, they were reading their mail from the relatives down south. Well, they are still here so I guess they listened to their relatives about the weather.
Love to all of my EQ friends, I hope you are safe and know that you are in our prayers.

Well,Dear Do We Stay In or Go Out?

I played around with the Block in Sew Precise called "Pickle Dish." I also used a section of the Pickle Dish which is in Sew Precise and then drew the again my version of Flying Geese.
The centre of the quilt looked empty and looked into the embroidery and there were Canada Geese which to us are just so beautiful. They are really active now, and they are beautiful to see. We can hear them coming making all kinds of noise.
They do land in the field on our land and a piece of land beside our home. They are funny to watch because they do look like they are having a meeting.

The flying geese balls are actually placed on layer 2. Those are intended to be used in place of the blank triangles on layer one, therefore there will Y piecing.
