I made 32 flying geese to use in the zombie border.
Jacob was over this afternoon. He wants the geese to go in a circle around the quilt. So there will be 7 on the top and bottom and 9 on each side. Then each side will get filled in with one of the orange fabrics.
I also worked on something else today......
When my mom was here she said, "I like your fabric postcards the best."
hmmmmm....I wasn't planning on making any out of fabric.
But there I was at the kitchen table this morning.
I had the background sewn up with some check fabric inserted in there.
Then I spent time tracing and cutting and pressing the heat-n-bond to fabric. Things went rather quickly.
This is what they look like. The snowman came from a book of patterns called
Holiday Whimsies by Trena Hegdahl
They are all quilted, button eyes sewn on and the words "warm wishes" is stamped on the side.
Won't be long and they will be postcards!

It looks like it was a productive day! I found the Santa postcard you sent me last Christmas... I think I need a snowman to go with it..... :)
I love the orange flying geese!
Love the idea of the orange flying geese. I admire your patience with them.
I think those flying geese will be great!
And I love your snowman postcard! You have a lot of patience to do all of that. Don't know if I could manage more than one.
Your postcards are the greatest! I love this snowman.

Very cute postman! I could see that setting in a quilt, too.
