Curved Flying Geese Workshop

Another UFO finished!

This is how far I got at the workshop.  There were two more flying geese rows to attach.

 In November of 2014, I took a workshop at the London Friendship Quilt Guild taught by Susan Clark.  We were instructed to take some leftover quilt blocks along, some background fabric and scraps. The quilt blocks were leftover from this row quilt from 2011.   I took along some hand dyed fabrics that I bought at a quilt shop on Salt Spring Island while visiting my sister and some KF scraps.  This was a really fun workshop with a unique method of inserting these strips.  Of course, I didn't get to finishing it right away and then it became a daunting task.  During the pandemic, I joined the London Friendship Quilt Guild UFO group and got it finished.  Then I got to blogging it and never finished the blog post!  Summer hit and we were outside!  I just found this half started post in my drafts.  Better late than never ☺!

I found a lovely Kaffe print in my stash for the backing

a great memory of my visit to Salt Spring Island and a lovely quilt workshop

 

Jacquie Gering Workshop

Last week, I attended a workshop through the London Friendship Quilt Guild, taught by Jacquie Gering.  We learned how to do her stitch and flip blocks and started arranging the blocks into a quilt top.  The workshop was fabulous.  Jacquie is a very good teacher and gets right involved with her students and goes around the room helping with ideas and encouraging everyone.  We did a lot of laughing as well and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day.  

Enjoying an inside joke...what was said at the workshop, stays at the workshop LOL

Amazing how different they look with a bit of turning

I decided to possibly make a wall hanging for my husband's science room at school.  I found the atom symbol and showed Jacquie and she said, "go for it".  Here is the beginning of a layout, but the green needs to be wider and rounder.  I will work on this here at home and then add a red ring as well.

It was a very inspirational day.  Check out Jacquie's website.  Her blog gave me the courage to try "organic line quilting".
