Sunliten, love the wonky geese. I'm also partial to the green. Now what are you going to use it on?????


Cool here this morning - so I put a fire in the fireplace. Parked Mom by it after I washed and styled her hair. Hubby is putting all the old sunflower stalks in it so the flames are burning high. Me - I'm ready for a nap already.

Going to go over the sewing machine store, check to see if one of my machines is fixed, drop off the other one and look at a new Bernia. Any thoughts ladies???????

I don't have enough of the fabrics to do the geese for my Halloween version of the mystery because I made two blocks. So, I have finished it as a top and just need to make my zero calorie sandwich and quilt it.
This is the finished top:[ATTACH=CONFIG]325886[/ATTACH]

The sashing is black fabric with pale purple and green spider webs:

And the backing will be the black cartoon hearse fabric. Binding will be basic black.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]325888[/ATTACH]I'm quite happy with it.

Well done, Works4Me .... and that makes how many Halloween quilts?
Must be spooky and eery at your house .... do the neighbours call you The Addams Family?

Well, I had a whole page of things said - now they are somewhere, but not on this page. Darn - wish I would find all those thoughts.

works4me - awesome. You love Halloween like I love Christmas. The black cars are fab. What fun colors.

It's my lucky day. Got both of my machines back. The Kenmore only cost $60 for servicing and the other one he just tightened a screw and didn't charge me anything. Walked out feeling good. Now I feel like I can tackle those geese.

Lady showed my a Bernina 330. Wasn't comfortable with cost - could buy a lot of fabric instead. So I'll continue looking. The reason I like store is because I purchased my Bernette there I get a 25% discount on all tools, assessories and a reduced price of fabric. So over the year it adds up.

The man across the street is planting flowers. It is 47` and a 50 mile an hour wind. I think I will stay inside by the fire. Maybe even put the feet up and think about the next quilt project.

Take care ladies - HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!!!

As for me, I finished sewing together all of my geese blocks today & will post a picture tomorrow for all to see. I have had so much fun with this Mystery Train ride & can't wait for the next clue. I wonder what it could be??????

Sunlite..........I LOVE this fabric!! Do you know if it can be ordered on the internet? Green is also one of my favorite color's & when I look at it, I see tree's. I must be weird,huh?
