I spent the most delicious morning (and into the afternoon) working on my flying geese quilt. And it was made even more sweet with some oh so chocolate cupcakes that Rob made for a family visit yesterday. Having that cocolate frosting around my quilt in the making was precarious, but happily all geese made it out unscathed. I'm enjoying how this is coming together. It was my initial thought to iron all of the geese (which takes hours of steaming) prior to putting them together in rows. I opted for the steam as you go method and this is allowing me to piece some then steam the next row's geese in the process. Much more satisfying to mix up the sewing and steaming. Three rows of twelve (or thirteen, I'm undecided) down... the process is a bit slow but I'm settling in and enjoying it as it goes. The weather is cooperating and we've had a string of rainy and humid days... perfect for piecing, planning and orgainizing in the loft. And despite this really crap weather, I'm officially in love with summer. Happy Monday everyone!
