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.

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.

Obi Belt

I bought this beautiful Kaffe Fassett fabric and didn't know what to do with it because I wanted to showcase the pattern. I made this simple obi belt, which is quilted in the centre and bound around the edges.
