TFQ already talked about our Flying Geese exchange on her blog<\/a>. Still, I am going to talk about it here. Over the course of the year, probably ad nauseum. Still, it is my blog.<\/p>\n

I like doing projects with TFQ. The last one we did together was the Star Sampler<\/a>. She is waiting to finish hers, but mine is done.<\/p>\n

As you might remember, we started off, after PIQF, exchanging the PIQF Cross blocks<\/a>. TFQ admitted to sincerely disliking those blocks before I did, but I really did not like them very much. When we finally got on the same page, TFQ suggested Flying Geese patches and I thought that was a good idea.<\/p>\n

We decided to use the same color selections: light, bright grey, which was good. I already had a selection out to use. I have since picked out a few others.<\/p>\n

First off: I started off making the Flying Geese wrong. That is why you see some of the geese have been made into chevrons. I just have them on my design wall arranged like that for kicks. I can’t see making more of the Flying Geese the wrong way. I don’t suppose you ever really know.<\/p>\n

That meant that I had to start over, recutting, readjusting my brain and sewing more to catch up.<\/p>\n

\"Measuring\"<\/a>

Next, I got reacquainted with the Deb Tucker Flying Geese ruler. I have also used other rulers such as the Creative Grids Flying Geese ruler<\/a>. This time I am using the Deb Tucker Flying Geese ruler. Once I figured out what size to cut each square, then I churned out several geese. The Deb Tucker Flying Geese ruler makes 4 at a time, which is one reason I like it.<\/p>\n

Aside from actually mailing off the patches, which I keep forgetting, I am doing pretty well making them. This is a much better project. I am already thinking about what I will do the mounds of Flying Geese I am going to have. I do have ideas, especially for these<\/a>, which are gorgeous!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
