Flying Geese

I need 70+ flying geese for a quilt that I am making.

Piecemeal Quilts has a very good tutorial for one seam flying geese.   This chain sewing method seemed faster than the other methods that I tried.  Now that I have all the components made I can start putting them all together and start quilting!

The fall in the air prompted me to pull out the yarn.   While I already have more scarves than needed for living in southern Texas, I could not resist this pattern is by Stitch Diva.

It is broomstick lace and bamboo yarn.  I could not find the jumbo knitting needle called for so I am using a sharpened dowel from Lowes.  It works okay after lots of sanding but just does not look cool.  I think I will stain the dowel some wonderful artsy color and will feel better about the whole process.

Computer Keyboard Scarf

I tend to do a lot of things while at the computer. I watch TV, eat, handwork,etc.. Today I was crocheting while reading blogs. When I looked down it looked as though I was crocheting a scarf for the computer keyboard!
