Deciding on Geese

   These wild geese were flying every where as I pulled out several fabrics to try as sashing.  There a dark blue, a grayed-black, and a dark tonal green.  I tried a red, but quickly knew I would not be happy with it and put it away.  Of these 3, I liked the dark green best.  The black needs to be darker and truer with out the grayed splotches.  So since we were planning a quick trip to Fletcher, NC, a short stop at Foam and Fabric would solve the black dilemma.




   I did find a beautiful black tonal fabric I will use for the geese.  But I will save  photos of it until I get some geese strips sewn.  Nicki suggested the name of Flight in the Night if I used black.   We will see......
    I also picked up a couple of books at 50% off....I am such a sucker for quilt books.    The Color book is by Becky Goldsmith  of Piece O Cake fame.  Lots of great projects in it to entice me.   I am reading thru it right now and will share a review maybe of wisdom I gleam from it.



   Sir Old Man spotted this one on the flat fold table.  I did not need this, but loved all the sentiments/sayings expressed on it.   So one yard will make a ton of mug rugs and snack size mats for using, giving, or donating.  I love making the small size projects in between the big stuff.




   I will probably be silent for a day or two.....carpel tunnel surgery is tomorrow.  Thank you all for the support.  I will be back.  Happy stitching.

The geese look great on the black, and I like the name suggestion, but might shorten it to Night Flight.
That is a really great fabric with those sayings on it. Sir Old Man has a good eye. : )
Will be praying for a successful surgery and smooth recovery!!

Do you think you'll feel all of us hovering around you when you have the surgery, holding your hand and wishing you well?

Sylvia Anderson said...

Hopefully, the doctor won't feel the pressured by the number of people who will be there in spirit with you. We are all wishing for a speedy recovery and a fantastic outcome. A little trip will be just what you need as you take some time off after surgery. Lots of hugs and prayers coming your way.

Healing thoughts flying your way. Make sure Sir Old Man gives us an update until you can get back to us yourself.

Sending healing thoughts. I might have already told you I had that surgery years ago...never looked back. It totally cured what ailed me once the pain of the surgery subsided. Hoping you'll have a good result as well. I have that same fabric with the sentiments. I like it too.
