Fun with Templates

 I have just done a class at Petter Taylor's Sewing Centre with templates. The first one was "splice". It looks lovely made up in striped  fabric. The second one was "Sunburst" I really like this template, I have 3 blocks made. I hope to make it up into a quilt.
 Blocks made in the class. The ladies had fun matching up the stripes.
 The Drunkards Path was also a class at Peters. This is a 12"block, so it goes together fast. Peter was selling the pre-cut kits at the shop. I have the boarders on and it makes a good size quilt.

  Spring is in the air. Most of the plants are flowering. The garden looks really good when a few things start to flower and show a bit of colour.


 Orchid look stunning and the flowers last for weeks

 The Geese have been sitting on there nest for the last month. We have 3 ladies and 1 man. Last week the grey geese had 2 cute little goslings hatch. They were so cute to watch. You had to keep a eye on dad, he didn't like us any were near them.
We had to go away for a week and while we were away the white geese had 10 baby's arrive. We now have 16 geese.     Boy!!!!   
But dad has disappeared. Hopefully he has just gone down to the river for a spell.

 Walking home through the truck stop I took this photo. I like all the lines. Great inspiration for a quilt.


  The scraps from the quilt I just made. I didn't waist or leave much behind .
All white, cream and grey.
  A little peek at the quilt I made.
This quilt is for Nat. He was in my heart the whole time I was working on this quilt.

  1. Don't you ever sit still? The template blocks look wonderful - sorry I missed the class. 16 geese is an awful lot of poop, I think you might have to put up a better fence.
