Flying Geese Progress

Well I've made all my individual 'geese', now it's just a case of arranging them. I like the first idea below, but am trying other ideas before I start sewing.

Girls' Indian Tunic

Having made a prototype of a tunic with button-up yoke, I had a go at making one in one of the many hand printed, Indian cottons I have. It needs binding at the neck armholes and some buttons, but I think this is a really cute summer tunic! It's age 3 if anyone interested in purchasing it!

Mum and Daughter Trip to Pennsylvania

What a wonderful state! I've just returned from a week in PA with my mum. We had an amazing time. The weather was stunning and so were the sights... and the shops!!!

Gettysburg:
Day trip to West Virginia:
Lancaster County: such a beautiful place. I could happily live here. It's such a tranquil, friendly place. Bought so much fabric, which'll probably end up being part of my stash, rather than ever being used...
Lancaster Quilt museum and some Amish boys. The bright, striped quilt is from the 1890s, unbelievably. The wedding band quilt is made from feedsack fabrics, of which I bought loads of repros...
Philly: the Liberty Bell, George, the Love sculpture and the Ben Franklin Bridge.
